Cifre Cerámica

What Cifre Cerámica does

Cifre Cerámica is a Spanish designer and manufacturer of ceramic and porcelain tiles operating from Onda in the Castellón ceramic production cluster, with legal entity CIFRE CERAMICA SLU. The company is part of the Grupo Argenta corporate group and operates with a headcount of 51-100 employees. Its product portfolio spans 214+ collections organized into five branded families: Woodmotion (wood-look porcelain), Brick & More (small-format decorative tiles), Artech (technologically certified tiles with UPEC and N-plus specifications), Xlife (large-format continuous surfaces up to 120x280 cm), and Architorium (architectural precision collections). Core manufacturing capabilities include digital printing across wood, stone, marble, cement, and textile textures, with formats ranging from 1.5x15 cm to 120x280 cm, multiple finishes (matte, polished, premium polished), and technical variants including rectified edges and 20mm outdoor-grade thickness.

Cifre operates a B2B go-to-market targeting architects, interior designers, builders, and project developers across residential (bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms), architectural facades, swimming pool, and commercial/public space applications. Distribution combines factory-direct project sales from Onda headquarters, an authorized distributor and retailer network, and recurring presence at Cersaie (Italy) and Coverings (USA) — the two largest global ceramic exhibitions. The company's commercial channels also include a multilingual website (Spanish, English, French, German), a 360-degree virtual showroom, the Roomview visualization tool, and the Cifre Report design-inspiration blog. Pricing is quotation-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with project-based specification sales.

Revenue mechanics are anchored in one-time product sales with no recurring software or licensing model. The company pursues custom/solution-based sales, offering made-to-measure options and special trim pieces (steps, moldings, bullnose) alongside its standard catalog. Geographic reach is demonstrated across Spain, France, Germany, and the USA, though the company does not assert a fully global footprint. The firm received the iF Design Award 2026 for its exhibition stand at Cersaie, reflecting brand positioning within the international architectural ceramics community.

Direct peers

• Ceracasa: Castellón-based ceramic tile manufacturer with a portfolio of porcelain floor and wall tiles targeting similar residential and commercial use cases. Direct competitor in the same Spanish ceramic cluster with overlapping export markets.
• Marazzi Group: Italian ceramic tile manufacturer under Mohawk Industries, producing porcelain floor and wall tiles with strong international distribution and design-forward collections. Comparable in product technology (digital printing, large formats) and global trade show presence.
• Porcelanosa: Premium Spanish ceramic and porcelain tile group with strong international distribution and a design-led positioning closely aligned to Cifre's architect/designer focus. Competes head-to-head in mid-to-high-end residential and commercial specification projects.
• Keraben Grupo: Spanish ceramic tile manufacturer headquartered in Castellón, producing porcelain floor and wall tiles with a similar multi-collection strategy. Comparable product portfolio, target segments, and trade show presence (Cersaie, Coverings).
• Iris Ceramica Group: Italian ceramic tile group encompassing multiple brands (Iris Ceramica, Fiandre, Mosaico+) producing porcelain slabs and tiles with design-led positioning. Comparable product technology, premium segment focus, and global distribution.
• Pamesa Cerámica: One of Spain's largest ceramic tile manufacturers, also based in the Castellón cluster, offering porcelain and ceramic tiles across residential and commercial applications. Directly comparable in product category, customer base (architects, distributors, project buyers), and competitive set.
• Florim: Italian large-format porcelain slab and tile specialist targeting architects and high-end residential/commercial projects. Direct overlap with Cifre's Xlife large-format proposition and premium positioning in international markets.

Broad incumbents
