Ceramica Fondovalle

What Ceramica Fondovalle does

Ceramica Fondovalle S.p.A. SB is an Italian manufacturer of porcelain stoneware tiles, slabs, and surfaces headquartered in Torre Maina (Maranello), in the Modena ceramic district, with additional production, slab-processing, and logistics facilities in Marano sul Panaro and Ubersetto. The company is structured as a Società Benefit operating under the direction and coordination of Italcer S.p.A. (Italcer Group), with reported share capital of EUR 12,650,300. Its product portfolio spans approximately a dozen named collections across marble, stone, wood, concrete, resin, mirror, textile, brick, and pure effects, organized into three dedicated lines: MyTop (large-format slabs from 6mm to 20mm thickness), Shape (ceramic furniture pieces including washbasins and shower trays), and 2Out (outdoor surfaces).

The technical foundation rests on proprietary digital printing and surface-treatment technologies, most notably the patented ALL-OVER technique that reproduces slab texture on edges for visual continuity, the Italcer-shared ADVANCE antibacterial/antiviral/photocatalytic technology made with 40% recycled raw materials, and a suite of finish technologies (Crystal, Precious, 3D Texture, Real Matt, Matt & Deep, All Light). The company maintains an extensive international certification stack (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EMAS, EPD, UPEC, CE, CCC, SASO, VOC A+, MOCA, DOP, ItalyX, UNI PdR 125:2022, GPP) supporting export access.

Ceramica Fondovalle operates a specification-driven B22B2C model: products are specified into projects by architects, interior designers, and construction professionals, accessed via a Reserved Area portal, multi-language website (IT/EN/FR/DE/ES), trade shows (Cersaie), and digital marketing. Pricing is quote-based rather than published, and the customer base is distributed across residential, hospitality (B&Bs, restaurants, hotels), healthcare/wellness (clinics, thermal spas), and a small number of high-end retail projects (e.g., the Bosideng London flagship) across Italy, the UK, France, Germany, Hungary, Greece, Saudi Arabia, and other export markets.
