Ceramica Mediterranea Spa

What Ceramica Mediterranea Spa does

Ceramica Mediterranea Spa is an Italian manufacturer of 100% porcelain stoneware (grès porcellanato) produced exclusively from raw materials sourced and processed in Sardinia. Founded in 2002, the company operates a single manufacturing plant in Guspini (Sardinia) and positions itself as the only Italian producer using exclusively Sardinian-sourced inputs. Its portfolio comprises roughly 13 collections spanning concrete, marble, limestone, travertine, wood, terrazzo, and Sardinian-heritage aesthetics, with multiple formats and thicknesses including 20mm outdoor variants. Commercial operations are run through Interplan Srl (Lana, Italy) and a Direzione Commerciale in Sassuolo, with direct-to-consumer e-commerce via a Shopify storefront on ceramicamediterranea.it and a separate commercial sales network serving enterprise customers. The company exports worldwide and serves two primary customer segments: residential/homeowners purchasing per-square-meter through e-commerce, and contract/hospitality buyers (hotels, restaurants, commercial spaces) engaged through direct sales.

The business operates on a one-time unit-sale revenue model with prices ranging from approximately €39.55/m² to €68.26/m² excluding VAT, depending on collection. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, ISO 50001:2018, and ISO 45001 certifications, plus CAM compliance under Italian Decree 23 June 2022 n. 256, qualifying products for public procurement and green-building tenders. Operational infrastructure includes a photovoltaic system being expanded from 2.5 MW to 6.5 MW peak power and heat-recovery systems on kilns. Leadership is headed by CEO Bernhard Mazohl, and ownership is private with no disclosed institutional backing. The company is differentiated less by scale (45 employees) than by Sardinian-origin raw materials, integrated ISO certifications, and a heritage-driven design narrative.
