The world of MEISSEN KERAMIK
Quality, long-lasting designs, innovative technologies and sustainability - this is what has been characteristic of MEISSEN KERAMIK GmbH for more than 150 years. Thus, our company is one of the oldest tile manufacturers in Germany with a very long tradition.
However, we are not simply relying on our tradition but always looking for the best, and following the Bauhaus philosophy “Good shape for an attractive price”, we are developing tile collections satisfying highest design and quality standards - and always with a well-balanced price-performance ratio.
At Meißen in Saxony, the more than 150 employees are producing over 2.8 million square metres of tiles every year - made in Germany and according to the latest technical and quality standards. At our parent company, Cersanit S.A., further 7 million square metres of tiles are produced for MEISSEN KERAMIK every year - which of course meet the elevated requirements of our brand.
At the same time, as part of the internationally operating Rovese Group, one of the leading European manufacturers of high-quality sanitary and bathroom ceramics, we have considerable advantages compared to our competitors: for example, we can offer our high quality at reasonable prices and have better possibilities at the development of new products.
Although we are striving to establish ourselves in the international market, we are actively committed to environmental protection: we are obtaining our raw materials exclusively from the regions around our production sites at Meißen as well as Wałbrzych and Opoczno in Poland. A responsible production and extensive investments in efficient and ecologically compatible processes ensure sustainable tile collections.
