Ancora Group for Alfa De Oro award

The Spanish company Sierragres has won the Alfa de Oro award at Cevisama 2011 for a product manufactured using a squaring machine for large ceramic elements designed and built by Ancora Group of Sassuolo. The Cordoba-based company received the top award for innovation for its Sierravent® load-bearing ventilated façade elements produced from blocks of extruded stoneware. Technicians from Ancora tailored the machines to the specific manufacturing requirements of Sierragres, allowing the company to create a highly innovative product. Delivered to Sierragres in October, the squaring lines are additionally able to process Sierrablock® blocks, cutting-edge products for non-ventilated facades that won the Alfa de Oro award at Cevisama 2009.
