50Tile International 2/2016

The Italian tile industry has re-corded a positive 2015, with revenues of 5.1 billion euros, representing a rise of 4.1% on the previous year.This is again largely due to exports, which have risen by 5.1% to a value of 4.3 billion euros, equating to 84.4% of total turnover. The domestic market, meanwhile, remained stable, with sales of 799 million euros (-0.6%).The data reported by Confin-dustria Ceramica, which we cover in greater depth on lat-er pages, also point to a rise in national tile production, which reached 395 million sq.m (+3.4%).

In keeping with its annual tra-dition, TILE INTERNATIONAL has collected the 2015 reve-nues of Italy’s biggest ceram-ic manufacturers, to compile a league table of excellence for its early summer issue.Again this year we have de-cided to open with the re-sults of Marazzi and Dal Tile, owned by Mohawk Indus-tries Inc., but to keep them separate from the league ta-ble. Following its acquisition of Marazzi Group in April 2013, however, Mohawk Industries has become the world’s larg-est tile manufacturer and pro-duces a substantial part of its output at some of Italy’s larg-est manufacturing facilities.Let’s take a look at the 2015

league table of revenues of It-aly’s biggest manufacturers.

Revenues of over 200 million euros

There’s no change in the rank-ings of Italy’s top six tile man-ufacturing groups with reve-nues of over 200 million euros.Top spot is held by Concorde Group, which remains firm-ly at the head of the table, al-though it has not yet released a preview of its figures for the last financial year. As early as 2014, however, it had already recorded rev-enues of 683.8 million eu-ros (+11.8% on 2013). What’s more, it achieved this result with its Italian brands only, so excluding the contribution of Novoceram, France; Italon, Russia; Meta, a producer of ceramic body, and Svimisa, a producer of raw materials. Iris Ceramica Group remains in second place, with turno-ver of 480 million euros in 2015 (+6.7% on the previous year). In third place is Finfloor Group, which owes a significant part of its growth to direct sales on the US market, and has in-creased its consolidated reve-nues to 374.1 million euros. The marked improvement in the fortunes of Panariagroup, in fourth place, is due large-ly to the US market, which ac-counted for 38% of its total 2015 turnover of 342.9 million

euros (+17.9% on 2014).Casalgrande Padana takes fifth place, with revenues of 273.7 million euros (+1.8%) generated entirely by Italian-based production. In sixth place lies Cooperati-va Ceramica d’Imola. With revenues of 241.0 million eu-ros, this was the only compa-ny in the over-200-million cate-gory that closed the year with negative growth.

100 to 200 million euros

The middle order, made up of companies with revenues of between 200 and 100 mil-lion euros, was joined by the Gresmalt Group in 2015 and is topped by Emilcerami-ca, which has regained the ground it had lost to Ceram-iche Ricchetti. Emilceramica Group in-creased its turnover to 185.6 million euros in 2016, to take back its place in the league table, while Ricchetti Group reported revenues of 180.9 million euros, representing a fall of 2.4% on the previous year. It is also worth noting that Emilceramica Group’s fall in consolidated turnover since 2013 is due to the de-valuation of the Ukrainian hry-vnia, while the Emilceramica brand has continued its up-ward trend.Faetano-Del Conca has

achieved excellent re-sults, in the shape of a 15.4% rise in turnover com-pared with the previous year, equating to 146.4 million euros.

Less than 100 million euros

The under-100-million category is the larg-est, and has seen plenty of positive per-formances in 2015, although it is also the category showing the clearest signs of difficulty. As always, TILE INTER-NATIONAL set a cut-off point of around 30 million euros of annu-al turnover, but one of the best results above this thresh-old was achieved by Laminam (+26.9%), which testifies to the importance of prod-

uct innovation to-wards extra-large formats incorporat-ing ever higher add-ed value. La Fabbri-ca also scored very creditable growth of 16.7%, while a further three companies re-ported growth of over 11%, namely Rondine Group, CCV Castel-vetro and Savoia Italia. The picture is also bright for Nova-bell (+5.7%), Piemme (+4.7%) and Coem, which is now ap-proaching its pre-cri-sis levels again, with 2015 revenues of 62.8 million euros (+8.3%).
