Ceramica Cielo reports strong growth

The Italian sanitaryware producer posted revenues of more than €37 million in 2022 and now aims to strengthen its position in foreign markets.

Ceramica Cielo, a leading Italian manufacturer of designer ceramic sanitaryware based in Civita Castellana, posted revenues of €37.5 million in 2022, bringing the company’s total growth over the last three years to 38% and enabling it to maintain its strong market position. Ceramica Cielo is 100% owned by Italian Bathroom Design (IBD), a company that in turn is majority controlled by the Mittel Group.

“Research and selection of the best materials, high quality standards and attention to detail are the guiding principles that have enabled us to achieve this important result,” explains Dimitri Mei, CEO of Ceramica Cielo. “Our goal now is to expand our foreign sales, which currently account for about 40% of revenues, with special attention to markets in Central and Northern Europe and South America.”

The company also aims to establish a stronger presence in the contract furnishing market, adds Mei:

“The contract segment is an essential area of business for our development. Although we do not yet have a significant presence in this segment, the sheer breadth of our portfolio for both housing and hospitality allows us to handle projects all over the world and makes Ceramica Cielo an important partner for real estate developers. Our goal is for this segment to account for 30% of our revenues over the next three years.”

Thanks to the sophisticated and unique style created by artistic directors Andrea Parisio and Giuseppe Pezzano, Cielo products are used all over the world and have won major international design awards.

“We’re delighted with the performance of Ceramica Cielo,” concludes Dimitri Mei. “Despite significant headwinds over the past two years, including soaring energy costs, unstable geopolitical conditions and severe inflation, the company has demonstrated strong structural resilience that allows us to look to the future with optimism.”
