Del Conca Group makes investments

The Del Conca Group has begun its strategy for overcoming the market downturn with a 4 million euro investment in a new porcelain tile rectification department at the existing production facility in San Clemente, Rimini.
The new line will cater for the residential floor and wall tile market by proposing porcelain tile (the company’s specialist product) as a cutting-edge material for high-end applications. The plant will have a capacity of a million square metres per year and will be ready by the end of the summer. It will be equipped with special numerically controlled machines capable of operating with very small tolerances (tenth of a millimetre) to guarantee tiles with constant dimensions.
The Group will continue to make investments throughout the three-year period 2009-2011. The management plans to assign approximately 15 million euro to product and process innovation.

The Group has also completed numerous prestigious contract to supply materials for conservative restoration of the Grand Hotel dei Castelli in Sestri Levante (GE) and for 500 apartments at the Darsena City Village in Ferrara (total value 100 million euro).
