Ceramiche Sant’agostino, based in the province of Ferrara, was the company in the sector most severely affected by the earthquake that struck the Emilia region in the spring of 2012.

It resumed continuous operation with a daily output of 3,500 sq.m of tiles, corresponding to a total of around 100,000 sq.m a month. The company’s complete recovery was confirmed by the launch at Cersaie 2012 of the new product lines designed by Philippe Starck, with whom the company has embarked on a high-level collaboration.

On 1 March 2010, Rondine Group signed a five-year lease for Ceramiche Sadon, the largest Italian skirting manufacturer and also owner of the Maioliche dell’Umbria brand specialising in small tile sizes, with the option to purchase the company’s sales and manufacturing divisions. On 17 June 2013 an agreement was signed with the large Turkish group Seramiksan, which acquired the Rondine Group shares held by the private equity fund Progressio SGR since 2006. This has enabled Rondine Group to begin an internationalisation process with the support of a major industrial partner. Under the terms of the agreement, the Giacobazzi family and Seramiksan will each hold 50% stakes and Lauro Giacobazzi will stay on as Chairman and CEO of Rondinegroup. The two groups will also maintain their complete management, operational and commercial autonomy, although there is plenty of scope for synergies in distribution in various markets and in new product research and development.
