About fifty years of quality and innovation
Casalgrande Padana was founded in 1960. The first company in Italy to specialize in porcelain stoneware, it shot with incredible speed to the forefront of the international market.
Casalgrande Padana currently employs over five hundred people in its four high-tech facilities in the heart of the world leading ceramics district, covering a total area of almost a half million square metres.
Four decades of constant growth in sales and production are the tangible proof of Casalgrande Padana skill at responding to market changes and trends with exceptional innovation and quality in universal tiles, for floor and wall coverings, heavy-traffic environments, residential areas, service and industrial buildings.
The strength of porcelain stoneware
Approximately 80% of Casalgrande Padana's production is currently devoted to unglazed porcelain stoneware, a high-performing versatile material with excellent technical characteristics and superior aesthetic quality.
Casalgrande Padana was an internationally forerunner in developing this special kind of finish, playing an important role in the material proving suitable to a wide range of architectural uses.
Strength in Europe and around the world
Casalgrande Padana is a dominant force on the European market, holding a high share of the production and sales markets.
It is particularly proud of bringing its production and design approach to the entire world as its distinctive concept conveys reliability, flexibility, creativity and functionality everywhere.
The Casalgrande Padana name has travelled over the five continents and through 70 countries using a dense network of agents, importers and distributors.

At the service of designers
Casalgrande Padana has been developing incomparable experience in porcelain stoneware over more than 40 years. It has become an optimal source for addressing the specific needs of designers, architects, interior designers and all kinds of customers.
It has reached this level through dedicated innovation and research into materials, the breadth of its product range and the affordability of its products in relationship to their high quality.
Quality and sustainable development
Casalgrande Padana is committed to a strategy based on aiming for total quality. To these ends, it guarantees the superior performance of its products and goes further to dedicate itself every day to continuously improving its production processes and customer service.
Every processing phase is carefully monitored and every step of the process – from choosing raw materials to offering support to professionals – is defined by the pursuit of excellence.
Casalgrande Padana understands the importance of balanced growth and responsibility. It makes eco-friendly materials for contemporary architecture, using industrial systems and environmental policies that are strongly oriented towards sustainability.
The porcelain stoneware that comes out of Casalgrande Padana facilities is the perfect expression of this mission. In addition to superior aesthetic quality and impressive technical performance, porcelain stoneware boasts less impact on the environment than other ceramic products. A closed cycle process lets all components be recycled with emissions and dispersions almost at zero.
The entire production process and all supporting processes are environmentally friendly at Casalgrande Padana. Proof is found in the certifications issued by certifying agencies in compliance with directives ISO 14001 and EMAS (a regulation used to monitor and improve a company's environmental performance, a voluntary device of exceptional effectiveness and social value).
Yet, the most important and clearest evidence of the quality assurances is the trust and satisfaction of customers worldwide who, for more than forty years, have been buying millions of square metres of Casalgrande Padana every year.
Production and design come together beautifully
Casalgrande Padana development strategies are founded equally on understanding production and design. Since its origins, it has established a deep relationship with the design world, which is permanently developped with a series of projects and targeted tools.
Prime among these is Grand Prix, an international architecture contest that Casalgrande Padana organizes and sponsors. Every other year, it awards the most significant works in various fields that have made the best use of the creative potential of Casalgrande Padana porcelain stoneware and its technical properties (in particular, from the Granitogres, Marmogres and Pietre Native lines).
The competition, first launched in 1990, has become a well-established worldwide event and succeeded in helping consolidate the relationship between manufacturers and users of the product. This continuous mutual exchange brings the designer to take on an essential role within the industrial production process.
Grand Prix chooses from works that come in from around the world and serves as a tool for measuring the state of design in a variety of architectural fields, including: residential building, shopping and administrative centres, public and service buildings, industrial construction, special applications, façade cladding and outdoor paving.
The "Creative Book" provides a comprehensive description of the competition results. The publication represents the winning projects, honourable mentions and selections, plus a series of practical contributions, information, examples, solutions, suggestions and ideas in special sections dedicated to materials and compositional options.
