BMR, Italian finishing technologies take on the Far East

BMR, a leading Italian manufacturer of ceramic tile finishing machinery based in Scandiano (province of Reggio Emilia), has secured a major order in the Far East that demonstrates the prestige enjoyed by the group in the tough Asian markets. The order is to supply two complete polishing lines, two squaring lines and a honing line to the Malaysian giant MML, a leading manufacturer of glazed and unglazed porcelain tile.

MML recently launched a major investment programme worth several million euro to optimise its current production and improve the technical and aesthetic quality of products by gradually replacing its stock of installed machinery, for which purpose it has turned entirely to Italian suppliers: In particular, the high-performance polishing and squaring machines from BMR, and the honing line which will be the first installed by MML in their current refurbishing exercise.

BMR S.p.A. became one of the first Italian companies to enter the Chinese market in 1992 and has a presence in markets throughout the Far East, where it has installed dozens of machines in countries that include Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and South Korea
