FILA Consulting Ceramic Division opens in Fiorano Modenese (Modena)

The new FILA Consulting Ceramic Division in Fiorano Modenese was inaugurated on 16th June with a special event held at the Ferrari Museum in the nearby town of Maranello. The opening of the new office will place Fila right in the heart of the Italy's largest ceramic tile-making district and enable them to offer even faster technical advice and assistance to manufacturers.

The new office, which will also support the new FilaTech division, houses a training centre and a laboratory for carrying out analyses and tests on the surfaces of ceramic products manufactured by companies in the district. As the President of Fila, Beniamino Pettenon, explains, the investment aims to further strengthen the collaborative relationships and numerous partnerships that the Paduan company already has with ceramic tile manufacturers: In fact, over 200 manufacturers all over the world recommend Fila products.

Collaborations with research institutes belonging to the National Research Council of Italy, such as the Istituto di Chimica Inorganica delle Superfici (ICIS-CNR [Institute of Inorganic and Surface Chemistry]) in Padua and the Istituto di Scienze e Tecnologia di Materiali Ceramici (ISTEC-CNR [Institute of Science and Technology for Ceramics]) in Faenza are also very important.

Fila, which is headquartered in San Martino di Lupari (Padua), has six branches around the world in France, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, United States and United Arab Emirates, as well as a sales network covering over 60 countries.
