CWW meets Fulvio Masini, CEO Officine Smac.

The innovative dry application solution on extruded facing bricks offers extensive decorative potential.

The new areas were designed with a focus on energy saving.

The ceramic glazing and decorating equipment manufacturer reported double-digit revenue growth in 2023.

The company has installed a photovoltaic system capable of meeting up to 100% of the energy needs of its Fiorano Modenese site.

The latest deliveries in January bring to 15 the number of Smac Kryo coolers in operation at the Cooperativa Ceramica d’Imola Group’s facilities.​

Savoia Italia (Moma Group) has installed Smac’s D-Glaze, K-Flow and Klima technologies as part of a glazing department ugprade at its Fiorano and Sassuolo facilities.

Demand is picking up rapidly in Italy and the rest of Europe in both the brick and ceramic tile sectors.

Led by Sergio and Fulvio Masini, Officine Smac has established itself in international markets as a major supplier of glazing and decoration equipment for the ceramic tile and brick industries.

The Fiorano Modenese, Italy-based company received two new important orders in India in the last months.

The historic ceramic tile manufacturer installed two complete stations at its facility in Fiorano Modenese.

Kryo technology from Smac continues to be well received in the market and has been joined this year by the new Klima system with Green Inverter Technology.

Recent orders include those to Kale Group, Cooperativa Ceramica d’Imola, Villeroy & Boch and Crossville.

Technological innovation for Brickworks is an essential part of doing business in the highly competitive world of building products. In 2015 the company installed a Multiglaze spraying system and MAS sandblasting units on the brick production line at Rochedale (Queensland).

iBRUSH is the new system for applying protective liquid to polished and honed tiles.

Smac’s technology for cooling tiles on decoration tiles is gaining in popularity in Italy.

The tile cooling system for digital decoration lines has been chosen by Kai Group in Bulgaria and Polis in Italy.

Smac has launched D-Glaze, an automatic system designed to control glazes which have to be diluted and brought to a specific density before being used in a glazing machine.

Kryo remains a key technology for the Italian group and has also been adopted for its international branches.

Kale Group, Villeroy & Boch and Gloria Ceramics have confirmed the validity of the Kryo system from Smac and have expanded their existing machinery with new installations.
