Grannitto makes new investments

Jan 12, 2005

12/01/05 - Grannitto, one of the leading porcelain tile manufacturers in the Middle East, is making a multi-million dollar investment at its Dubai plant to expand its production capacity.
The investment was announced at the recent BIG-5 Show 2004 in Dubai, during which Grannitto presented the Annual Dealer Award to its best customers.

The state-of-the-art plant, engineered in house, is recognized in the industry for its high productivity and capacity utilization. Locally developed technologies have resulted in further operating efficiencies, enabling capacity utilization well in excess of 150%.
Likewise, the energy efficiencies achieved at the plant (milling power consumption under 40 kWh/ton and firing heat consumption under 400 kcal/kg) are among the highest for fine porcelain tile production.

For this expansion, Grannitto has once again chosen its trusted Italian technology partners. The main plant equipment will be supplied by Ancora, CMF and System, while the Grannitto technical team is closely involved in specific equipment design and manufacture. Equipment has been judiciously selected to integrate seamlessly into the current plant while incorporating the latest advances in ceramic technology.
This includes a fuel-efficient two-layer kiln, a highly flexible pre-press decoration facility, and a continuous ball mill.

Grannitto is a well-established international brand sold in more than 50 countries. Accepted in the market as a high-quality boutique style product, its internal standards far exceed those established by ISO standards for product quality and innovation.
