Inalco starts up second plant for large-size porcelain tile production

Inalco, a leading Spanish ceramic tile manufacturer with over 40 years’ experience in the business, announced in January the start-up of a second plant for the production of extra-large porcelain panels at its facility in Alcora (Castellón).

The new line uses cutting-edge H₂O IPLUS Full Digital technology and allows for greater flexibility in terms of thicknesses and sizes. Along with latest-generation systems, the company has chosen to use sustainable materials such as water-based glazes for tile decoration. These glazes mark a major step forward for the tile industry in terms of sustainability and care for the environment.

This latest investment is aimed at boosting production of surfaces that are already successfully established in international markets. One of these is the Itopker Countertops range of porcelain slabs in a 1500x3200 mm size and thickness 12 mm. Designed for the kitchen, furnishing and interior design segments, they attracted much interest at the recent KBIS show in Orlando, Florida. In the thin tile and panel segment (6 mm), Inalco offers its Slimmker range available in sizes 150x300 cm, 150x150 cm and 100x250 cm for floors and walls.

Thanks to the company’s global sales network and internationalisation policy, Inalco products are sold in 120 countries worldwide.
