Natural stone builders.We build in the factory state-of-the-art products, using construction processes covered by international patents.
Stones i.e. blends of clays, sands and minerals that nature compacts through tectonic motion and fires through the heat of the superficial layers of the crust.
Natural because we employ the same forces used by nature itself (pressure and fire), following construction processes which reproduce its features and characteristics.
Ecocompatible because sands, clays and other minerals are quarried without damaging the environment, using sensitive, strictly enforced procedures and know-hows.
With very high performance because clays, sands and materials used are extremely pure; the compacting pressure is very high (480 kg/cm2); the firing heat is much higher than the one of a volcano (1300°C and more, compared to 1100°C).

HISTORY
Fincibec Group’s history begins in Sassuolo, Italy, in the fifties, with Cibec, a mechanical workshop in the street of Via Verrazzano that was one of the most appreciated constructers of machinery in the ceramic industry of the time. Cibec introduced technologies such as atomizers, which revolutionized the very way of making ceramics.
Cibec’s own ceramic production began in the sixties, when the company, among the first in Sassuolo, brought to market its floor tiles in fine porcelain stoneware.
But it was in the seventies, with the introduction of light single-fired frost-proof ceramics, or glazed stoneware, that the success attained by the company convinced its owners to leave behind its mechanical department to focus solely on the production of floor and wall tiling.
In 1976, Cibec became Monocibec, and in 1981, the new brand facilities of Casiglie di Sassuolo were inaugurated to meet increasing production demands.
Expansion continued in the nineties with the acquisition of two plants and the creation of new brands, Naxos, in the Solignano plant, to specialize in the production of wall tiles, and Century, in the Roteglia plant, to specialize in the production of technical porcelain stoneware.
The birth of Fincibec Group, in 1997, was the keystone of a growth that continues today, driven by the passion for innovation and research that has marked six decades of the company’s history.
