 The
brands and the production factories in Italy
Ceramiche Ricchetti Group has tied its
industrial development to a process of specialization of
Italian brand names. The objective is to permit all brands to
develop, within their operating autonomy, being complete and
competitive products.
The application of this process
has resulted in three positive results:
 for the production (greater efficiency
and an increase of vitrified stoneware)
for the sales of ceramic tiles (increase
in the large retail segment)
and finally for production
costs
 Ceramiche Ricchetti.
This
is the parent company, founded in 1960, with head office at
Sassuolo. It has two principal production factories which are
at Fiorano and Mordano, specialized in the production of
single-fired red stoneware for wall and floor tiling and
vitrified enamel. Ceramiche Ricchetti is today the market
leader in the production and sales of ceramic tiles. The company also avails itself of
interior designers, such as
Laura Fiume and Patrizia Gucci as consultants.
 Cisa - Ceramiche
Industriali di Sassuolo. The ceramic company Cisa, Ceramiche
Industriali di Sassuolo, was founded at Sassuolo in 1954.
The first production processes were
dedicated to tile series for floors and double-fired wall
tiles in red stoneware only in the traditional size of
15x15cm. In the two new production facilities of Maranello and
Gorzano, towards the end of the 1980’s, the production began
of single-fired white-body tiles and double-fired red
stoneware floor and wall tiles in all traditional sizes and
vitrified stoneware in the most varied sizes and the widest
range of special trims. Today the production at Cisa is
fundamentally directed towards the residential
market.
 Cerdisa -
Ceramiche di Sassuolo. The
ceramic company Cerdisa, Ceramiche di Sassuolo, was founded in
1959 at Fiorano Modenese as a production factory in white-body
wall tiles. Over the years the production diversified:
following the developments of the production technology
implemented in the factories at Maranello, Cerdisa was among
the first brand names to produce vitrified stoneware. Its
production includes ceramics of vitrified floor and wall
tiles, in all traditional sizes. This is in order to cover the
diverse segments of the market. The production at Cerdisa is
principally destined to the market of large projects and the
residential market.
