Bologna Set to Host Ceramic Tile Industry
BOLOGNA, ITALY – Cersaie, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings, is set for next week in Bologna, Italy -- the heart of the Italian ceramics industry. Kicking off on Monday, September 23rd through Friday, September 27th, this year’s show is set to attract 100,000+ visitors from over 160 countries, offering industry and design professionals an unparalleled window into the latest trends and cutting-edge applications in ceramic tile.
With 600+ international manufacturer exhibitors, visitors can expect to see thousands of new tile products -- from large ceramic slabs and gauged porcelain tile panels to small brick and mosaic formats -- while discovering the latest design and color trends in ceramics and learning about the newest advancements in graphic printing and through-body veining techniques.
