Future Ceramics to start up in Saudi Arabia

A new ceramic company is due to start up in Saudi Arabia in 2008. Future Ceramics is building a large factory at Dammam, near the border with Barhein, for the production of single fired tiles and through-bodied and glazed porcelain tile.

During the start-up stage the plant will have a daily output of 40,000 sq.m. Fiorano, Italy-based firm LB will be Future Ceramics’ partner for porcelain tile production. The plant supplied by LB incorporates all the most modern technologies developed for the production of high technical and aesthetic quality porcelain tile. The vertical plant developed by LB will house Easy-Color System powder colouring systems and advanced technologies for powder treatment and particle size control.

The plant will also be equipped with latest-generation Croma feeders for the production of large-format tiles. Future Ceramics’ other technological partners include Sacmi, System and Tecnoferrari.
