The young Iranian company has installed and started up a complete floor and wall tile manufacturing plant supplied by Sacmi in Yazd.

The Iranian ceramic industry is continuing to innovate in terms of plant and products and to adopt cutting-edge finishing technologies.

The Iranian company Rock Sanat (Mah Ceram group) has commissioned BMR to supply a complete finishing plant for its new ceramic slab and panel factory.

SITI B&T has opened up the large-size tile market in Iran through an agreement with Rock Sanat (MA Ceram).

The opening took place on 25 May in the Payam Special Economic Zone close to Teheran.

The contract involves the supply of a modern turnkey plant which is currently under construction and will have a production capacity of 600 tons/day.

One of the sectors that is set to drive Iran's economy is construction, which closed at $154 billion at the end of 2016 and is expected to grow at an annual compound growth rate of 6.1% over the next four years to reach $196 billion in 2020.

The new production line has been commissioned by Azarakhsh International and will produce 140,000 strip bricks a day.

Persepolis Tile, Sadra, Narin and Yazd Novin are just a few of the leading companies that have chosen Creadigit printers from System.

On 17 May at Hotel Abbasi in Esfahan, Sacmi will present the Heavy Clay Division’s innovative plant engineering solutions to leading players and local manufacturers.

After a sharp and sudden decline of the sector in 2014, preliminary figures for 2015 show a further decline in output volumes and domestic consumption. A recovery in exports is likely.
