A completamento dei dati di commercio internazionale di sanitari, presentiamo i dati di sintesi dei maggiori player del settore - grandi multinazionali, gruppi o singole aziende -, aggiornati al 31/12/2013. Laddove disponibili, riportiamo i dati del fatturato generato dalla sola vendita di sanitari, per consentire un confronto più omogeneo tra grandi gruppi spesso operanti in più comparti dell’industria ceramica (piastrelle, stoviglieria, laterizi), della filiera (materie prime, distribuzione) o addirittura in altri settori (arredobagno e cucine, rivestimenti non ceramici, materiali per edilizia, chimica, ecc..).
Installed capacity (mill. Pcs.)
To round off the international trade figures for the sanitaryware sector, we are presenting the key figures for the sector (large multinationals, groups or individual companies) updated to 31 December 2013. Where available we also provide the figures for turnover generated purely from sales of sanitaryware. This allows for a more uniform comparison between large groups which often operate in multiple segments of the ceramic industry (tiles, tableware, heavy clay) and the supply chain (raw materials, distribution), as well as other sectors (bathroom and kitchen furnishings, non-ceramic surface
