FLOOR GRES TILE

Located in Fiorano Modenese, Floor Gres was founded in 1962 by Giovanni Lucchese, a trained engineer who first brought the wet extrusion process for the production of clinker tiles to Italy. In 1967, he introduced the technology for producing white-body single-fired tiles using the spray-drying method which is still one of the most widely used in the industry today. In 1976, Floor Gres created its Swimming Pool Division focused on swimming facilities of all kinds and sizes. In 1981, Floor Gres pioneered the production of porcelain stoneware, a material with outstanding technical and aesthetic properties which immediately began to dominate the market thanks to its wide range of applications in both public and private areas. In 1995, its forward-looking, innovative spirit led Floor Gres to phase out the production of extruded clinker tiles in order to dedicate more resources to the unlimited potential of porcelain stoneware. Its continuous investments into research into raw materials, color and design were the foundations of the technological and creative process, the beating heart of the company. Today, Floor Gres is a world-famous brand thanks to unceasing technological developments, a perfect synthesis of technology and style, and the capability for handling project design all over the world.
