What Optimum Surfaces does

Optimum Surfaces is an Italy-based brand of Ceramica del Conca S.p.A., part of the Del Conca Group, that manufactures and distributes large-format porcelain stoneware (grès porcellanato) slabs in the exclusive 1840x3300mm format, the largest slab size commercially available. The portfolio spans 33+ collections across marble, stone, concrete, travertine, and crystal-inspired effects (including The Crystals capsule collection with Alba, Luce, and Iride variants), offered in three thickness options (7mm, 12mm, 20mm) and three finishes (Polished, Natural/Matte, Soft Touch). Differentiated surface treatments include the proprietary Rilievo™ three-dimensional texturing technology, color-body construction for seamless edge finishing, and Soft Touch finish.

Production occurs at facilities equipped with advanced raw-material compaction systems, scanner-based quality control, firing at 1220°C, cogeneration plants enabling 100% electricity self-production, and an H2-Ready main kiln positioned for future hydrogen integration. The brand is headquartered in Savignano sul Panaro (Modena), with the parent entity registered in San Clemente (Rimini).

Optimum operates a B2B go-to-market model, selling exclusively through professional channels: distributors and stonemasons, fabricators, furniture shops, and direct specification relationships with architects and interior designers. Customer acquisition is event-driven, anchored by annual participation in KBIS, Coverings, Salone del Mobile, SICAM, Area30, Cersaie, and Interzum, supplemented by a structured website inquiry form that routes leads by profession. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Target applications include kitchen countertops, bathroom surfaces, tables, wall coverings, outdoor installations, and retail/office/hospitality environments. No independent revenue is reported; commercial results consolidate within the parent Ceramica del Conca S.p.A.
