Sicer

Sicer’s Italian research centre is constantly working to develop new materials that enhance and refine the technical, tactile and aesthetic perception of ceramic surfaces, as part of an ongoing process of innovation that is yielding a growing list of exciting achievements.

The document offers a detailed overview of the activities and responsible practices implemented by the Italian frit and glaze producer across environmental, social and governance areas.

Sicer holds an open day at its Tennessee facility’s new Gallery, where it showcases its latest innovations in ceramic decoration.

As part of Sicer’s ongoing research into new materials, this innovative formula is capable of further enhancing the tactile sensation of ceramic surfaces.

The Italian glaze and colour producer is continuing its global expansion strategy with the opening of a new facility in Morbi.

To enhance the three-dimensionality of ceramic surfaces without the use of an engraved punch or a dedicated roller, Sicer has developed several different types of texturing agents and digital glues.

Thirty years of challenges, achievements and visionary choices have enabled the well-known Italian ceramic glaze and colour producer to expand its business internationally and achieve success all over the world.

The Italian glaze and colour producer has obtained ESG certification from Ecovadis and in 2023 aims to extend it to its sites in Spain and Mexico.

Two years after the acquisition of the Indian site in Morbi, Sicer has strengthened its position in Spain with the acquisition of the Cerfrit production facility.

The Demos 1 Fund, managed by Azimut Libera Impresa SGR, is investing in Sicer. The company will continue to be managed by the current partners Gianfranco Padovani and Giuliano Ferrari.

In September, the Italian glaze and colour producer opened an elegant and spacious showroom at its Indonesian site and launched a virtual 3D Gallery of its Ubersetto showroom
