SITI B&T has more than 50 years of history and has long operated on a global scale. It has three facilities in Italy and eight foreign branches operating in the world’s major ceramic tile markets: Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Singapore and China. In China, where the group has been operating with factories and sales offices since 1999, it is due to open a new facility in Gaoming to accommodate all the manufacturing, sales and service operations that have previously been conducted at the Foshan site, where around 80 employees work. The new site will have twice the surface area of the current facility to allow for an increase in manufacturing capacity and rationalisation of production. All the machinery and equipment used in the workshop has been extensively refurbished. It is used to produce single- and double-channel kilns, horizontal dryers, spray dryers of all sizes, grinding plants and automations, all intended for the Asia Pacific market. As regards logistics, the Gaoming site is well connected to the motorway network and the proximity to the port facilitates sea transport. Future expansions can be accommodated in an adjacent area which will allow the site to be doubled in size. ❱❱ Growth in turnover and profits Stock market listing was also facilitated by the group’s strong performance in 2015. “In an intense year like the one that has just ended, we are proud to have achieved sales revenue
