LB expands its presence in Brazil with Dexco

LB Technology of Fiorano Modenese is among the key technology suppliers for Dexco’s new ceramic slab factory in Botucatu.

LB Technology of Fiorano Modenese is one of the key technology suppliers for Brazilian group Dexco’s new factory in Botucatu (São Paulo), which is soon to begin production. The facility will manufacture ceramic slabs for the Ceusa and Portinari brands. For this project, the Italian company has supplied advanced technological solutions to optimise four large-format slab forming lines. These include Easy Color Boost, for the uniform colouring of spray-dried powders; Chipper, for precise dosing of flakes; and Naturae, a technology designed to replicate the veins and colours of marble and natural stone with exceptional quality.

By adopting these cutting-edge technologies, Dexco aims to redefine the high-end porcelain tile market, responding to growing demand for aesthetically distinctive, customisable surfaces with advanced powder management systems.

Brazil remains a strategic market both for domestic ceramic consumption, which is projected to grow, and for exports from the local industry to North America and Africa. LB continues to serve this market by providing solutions tailored to the needs of key players such as Dexco.
