SITI B&T Group at Ceramics China (Guangzhou)

From May 21st to 24th Siti B&T Group is taking part in the new edition of Ceramics China fair in Guangzhou, the most important international trade fair for the far-east market dedicated to ceramic and sanitaryware technologies and innovation.

To conquer the Chinese market, the group from Formigine is concentrating above all on the new green technologies that optimise production while respecting the environment, due to the significant reduction in energy consumption. In the front line, the latest generation Green range kilns and dryers certified in class A: the high energy efficiency Greenfire kiln reduces energy consumption by 30%.

For digital tile decoration, the group is presenting Evolve, the printer range produced by the partner Projecta Engineering which includes, in addition to the EVOcore 6/8 and EVO 7, the new integrated glazing and decoration line Evo7 + EVO3 for application of both glazes and textured effects.

The new graphic trends for the ceramic sector is presented by Digital Design which, immediately after the trade fair, on 27th May, will be taking part in the "Design forum" event in the ceramic district of Shandong Zibo.

The B&T White division is focusing its attention on Cubic, the high pressure casting machine for sanitaryware which, with its rapid mould change (less than two hours), increases production by over 30%; and Rag - Robotized Action Glazing, a high productivity robotized glazing system which provides immediate adaptation to production batch variability and constant long-term quality.  

The countdown has begun to opening of the Italian group's new Eco Friendly Factory in Gaoming: an innovative high energy efficiency plant dedicated to the production of made in Italy quality technologies which, with its cutting-edge digital laboratory and strong synergy with the Engineering and Research & Development departments in Italy, will guarantee a more efficient customer support service.

In 2013 the SITI-B&T Group recorded a turnover of 172 million euros, an increase of 14% compared to 2012.
