What GIGACER does
GIGACER S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of large-format porcelain stoneware slabs, headquartered in Faenza — the historic "cradle of ceramics." Founded in 2006, the company operates a purpose-built production plant equipped with two Sacmi Continua press lines (including the 7200-ton Continua PH 7200 and the mold-free Continua Plus), enabling production of slabs up to 120×250 cm as well as thin 4.8 mm formats using mass-coloured porcelain technology rather than surface glazes. Its product portfolio comprises 21 main collections plus the Le Corbusier LCS Ceramics sub-brand (produced under exclusive license from Les Couleurs Suisse AG), spanning formats from 15×15 cm to 120×250 cm, thicknesses from 6 mm to 24 mm, and multiple surface finishes (Mat, Soft, Silk, Outdoor).
The company sells primarily B2B through direct showroom sales at its Faenza headquarters, participation in international trade shows (Cersaie, Maison & Objet, Architect@Work, BDNY, ICFF), tile distributors and resellers, and direct contract/project sales. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with multi-year contract cadences and an add-on Gigacer Service offering custom machining (cutting, drilling, polishing) tailored to individual project specifications. Customers include architects, interior designers, contractors, developers, and end clients across residential, hospitality, retail, healthcare, education, automotive, and government projects in Italy, Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific.
GIGACER is privately held with no disclosed external investors or funding rounds. It holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, CCC (China Compulsory Certificate), and UPEC certifications, and has won ADI Ceramics & Bathroom Design Awards in both 2022 and 2025. The company has 51–100 employees and no disclosed revenue or headcount growth data, with no M&A activity, subsidiaries, or leadership changes recorded in available sources.
