Novaref makes investments and achieves international growth in 2023

Novaref is concluding the year with positive results thanks to a good performance in North and South America. Capacity expansion work has been completed.

Novaref, one of Italy’s leading manufacturers of refractory rollers, is set to conclude an excellent 2023 that has seen major manufacturing investments, a constantly evolving product portfolio and significant progress in international markets, especially the Americas.

Sales have grown in particular in South America, where the company has received orders from leading local tile manufacturers thanks to its portfolio of high-performance rollers and high-quality technical support. In particular, the new Nova HD roller, which has already been installed on numerous production lines, offers a perfect response to market requirements and delivers excellent results in terms of durability and chemical resistance.

To ensure efficient and rapid delivery to ceramic companies in Central and North America, Novaref opened a new distribution warehouse in late summer.

The company has completed a number of structural investments, including the revamping of a kiln at the production facility in Colognola ai Colli in the province of Verona for the purpose of increasing production capacity and the expansion of the finishing department, which already this year has brought a significant improvement in delivery times.

Novaref is looking ahead to a challenging 2024 for the ceramic industry and is planning new investments in production to guarantee an increasingly complete range of rollers with higher performance and even more advanced features.
