Our journey into ABK GROUP's world wouldn't be complete without showcasing #14Oraitaliana , the brand that redefines the boundaries of ceramic #design. For those seeking unconventional, aesthetically stunning solutions, 14oraitaliana offers a collection of groundbreaking products of unparalleled originality. Drawing inspiration from art, design, and fashion, 14oraitaliana seamlessly blends heritage with cutting-edge technology. The result is a diverse range of materials that are both adaptable and #innovative, offering a fresh perspective on surfaces. #Surfaces #14oraitaliana #ABKGroup

Today we are proud to introduce DESVRES ARIANA, a brand born from the merger of two historical names in the world of international ceramics: the Italian company Ceramica Ariana, founded in the province of Reggio Emilia in 1967, and the French company Desvres founded in Bussois back in 1863. Desvres Ariana targets the home design sector with wood, stone, marble and concrete-effect floors for interiors and special non-slip surfaces for exteriors. The range includes both #traditional formats and a selection of large slabs, as well as bathroom and kitchen wall tiles needed to complete home design projects. #DesvresAriana #surfaces #ceramics

Today we want to open the doors of our state-of-the-art ABK Group production facility in Solignano Nuovo near #Modena. A 114,000-square-meter space with a workforce of 250 people. Our slabs and surfaces are made following the careful organization dictated by the three production lines including the new LB Technology coloring line and Easy Colorboost technology, which enables the production of the latest generation of through surfaces. Inside the #Hub, selected raw materials are mixed in more than 100 silos to create an almost infinite range of colored bodies. The factory is equipped with the #latestgeneration of presses designed to improve compaction of large formats and high-definition digital machines that ensure perfect graphic resolution of every detail reproduced on the surfaces. #ABKGroup #Innovation #madeinitaly

Our projects represent not only the high quality of our materials and surfaces, but also the passion and dedication with which we cooperate with architects and designers to create unique spaces with a soul.  The “Casa OM” project, carried out by Sferico Architetti, is an interesting renovation of a 19th-century farmhouse with several units, located in the historic center of Pecetto Torinese. The aim was to keep the beauty of the historic structure unaltered by enhancing its construction aspects, such as the vaults and old brick and stone walls, and to include characteristic elements of contemporary design. The result is a refined mix of ancient and modern with staircases designed as modern pieces of furniture and materials used with the focus to rehabilitation, in which past and present coexist with minimalist elegance.  Crossroad Chalk by ABK enhances the flooring of the living area, in perfect harmony with the mood of the project. Crossroad Chalk is a collection characterized by a slight three-dimensional effect of the surface, which reproduces the typical grain size of the plasters from which it is inspired.

Our journey through ABK GROUP's brands is far from over. After presenting the elegance and sophistication of Gardenia Orchidea , today we are pleased to introduce #GardeniaSlabs. In continuity with its #heritage of charm and uniqueness, Gardenia Orchidea amplifies its expressive potential with Gardenia Slabs, a selection of semi-finished porcelain stoneware slabs in large format 160x320 cm. In addition to its refined design and great versatility thanks to its availability in different thicknesses, Gardenia Slabs guarantees the highest level of #performance, resisting scratches, heat and ice. #GardeniaSlabs #Ceramics #surfaces #MadeInItaly

In ABK, we believe that #MadeinItaly represents not only manufacturing #excellence, but also a commitment to ethical principles. This includes environmental protection, eliminating harmful substances from production, a continuous focus on #sustainable product development with industry-leading #performance, and attention to people and well-being. ABK GROUP has actively demonstrated this commitment by investing over €40 million in recent years in new production lines and environmentally-sustainable state-of-the-art facilities. Our #production processes meticulously monitor emissions and implement a closed-loop system for processing waste and wastewater, effectively reusing them within the production cycle. Glazing and raw material processing waste is reintroduced into the production cycle. We reduce energy consumption through dedicated heat recovery systems. #Sustainability #Surfaces #ceramics #ABKGroup

Exciting news! ABK GROUP secured €10 million order in the #USA thanks to the second generation of #FullVein3D, the innovative technology which recreates the aesthetics and veining of natural stone both on the surface and through the entire thickness of the slabs. Born from the research in our hub in #Solignano, FullVein3D is popular for its environmental benefits. Its strength and durability ensure an exceptionally long lifetime, making it a more #sustainablechoice. Alessandro Fabbri, Managing Director for Sales & Marketing at #ABKGroup, commented: “FullVein3D technology is currently one of the most advanced #innovations in the ceramic sector and is set to revolutionise industry and consumer standards due to its wide range of applications and its benefits in terms of the #environment and #health. Our company has always been renowned for its commitment to #technologicalinnovation and focus on exploring new opportunities through research. This approach enables us to provide solutions that meet the demands of the market and the expectations of the most discerning consumers. Our success in the #UnitedStates, a market known for pioneering new trends, is a major source of pride for us.” #ABKGroup #Ceramics #technologies #design

Innovation and technological advancement have always been at the heart of ABK GROUP's vision.

The delicate balance of innovation and craftsmanship ensures that each tile showcases unparalleled quality and design #finesse, catering to the discerning tastes of even the most demanding customers. Throughout every touch, Soft 3D tells a story of superior #quality, innovative design, and an unwavering commitment to exceeding expectations. #Innovation #Surfaces #Ceramics #ABKGroup
