Negev, ready to open the new porcelain tile factory

The Negev porcelain tile factory (Yeruham, Israel) is expanding this year with the building of a new plant which will increase its yearly porcelain tile production capability to 7 millions sq.m. and will serve as the cutting edge technology in the field of digitally printed porcelain tiles. The inauguration will take place in the coming summer of 2013. The plant will be environmentally friendly, energy efficient and will recycle all the raw materials used in the production process.

The quality products manufactured have been awarded the ISO 2000 standard by the Standards Institution of Israel and the European standards (certificate 314 and 176). Moreover, Negev was awarded platinum status by the Israeli Council for Green Construction, received the Green Standard Label from the Standards Institution of Israel and is a candidate for the European Eco Label.

Last year the Negev Group has signed a strategic contract for a 5-year period with the Canadian Olympia Tile Company, owned by the Reichmann family, one of the world's largest tile distribution companies: Olympia Tiles will purchase Novo Porcelain tiles, which will be distributed to stores, contractors and directly to projects across North America and Canada.
