Our Company
The operations of CIPA GRES S.p.A. began in 1967 with the production of tile backings. Since then, we have expanded our offering and specialized in acid-resistant technical porcelain stoneware. This steady growth, supported by the development of our commercial division, has enabled us to become a point of reference in both the Italian and international markets.
Our development strategy is focused on producing high-tech acid-resistant porcelain stoneware for flooring and wall coverings. We not only strive for performance excellence, but are also committed to upholding strong environmental protection values.
Every ceramic product by CIPA GRES is the result of environmentally conscious production processes, in line with the most stringent sustainability regulations.
Our Technology
At CIPA GRES, cutting-edge technology is the driving force behind every ceramic surface we produce. For us, ceramics represent the perfect fusion of aesthetics, innovation, creativity, and tradition. Every stage of the production process is strictly monitored, from body preparation to pressing, firing, and packaging. This ensures that our porcelain stoneware achieves the highest quality standards on the market.
Full Body Porcelain Stoneware (UGL)
The production process of our full body porcelain stoneware is an example of our pursuit of excellence. We use only carefully selected raw materials from our laboratories. Through precise mixing of bodies with different types of minerals during pressing, we create a wide range of products. These offer exceptional technical performance and a high aesthetic value, creating unique and durable environments.
The abbreviation "UGL" refers to unglazed porcelain stoneware, distinguished from glazed variants by the absence of a surface layer. This feature makes it a “full body” material, where color and pattern are uniform throughout the entire thickness of the ceramic surface, ensuring extremely high wear resistance. Its natural appearance, free of glaze, faithfully reproduces the textures of stone, cement, or wood, giving authenticity and warmth to spaces.
