“A prime tenet of our business plan is to always explore new channels for growth and take advantage of opportunities to increase market share,” Gianni Mattioli, President and CEO of Marazzi USA affirmed, “and this acquisition reinforces our strategy of manufacturing top quality tile to service the U.S. market.”
“Marazzi Group continues to be a very competitive player in the U.S. tile marketplace. As the market improves we should be in a strong position to capitalize on opportunities within both commercial and residential markets,” continued Mattioli as he confirmed this significant step was made possible by Company success during the last few years in spite of very difficult market conditions.
