Ceramiche Ragno S.p.A. (founded in 1950) and Marazzi Ceramiche S.p.A. (founded in1935) are the two oldest continuously running Italian ceramic tile manufacturers. Many of today’s most popular styles and production technologies have been pioneered and perfected by these two companies, who also had a major role in creating the market for ceramic tile as well as a floor and wall covering material first in Italy, then in Europe and the rest of the world.
Since 1984, Ragno is a part of the Marazzi group, the world’s largest ceramic tile manufacturer with subsidiaries and production plants in Italy, Spain, France, Russia and the U.S.A. In order to be as close as possible to the American market, the Marazzi group purchased in 1998 the Monarch Ceramic Tile company, with production plants and warehouses located in Florance AL. In the following years those plants have been reconverted into possibly the most technologically advanced porcelain tile production plant in the U.S., fitted with state of the art machines from Italy staffed with Italian technicians and production managers. In addition to our locally made items, we also stock in Florance a selected range of tiles made in Italy.
