The group's parent company GranitiFiandre S.p.A. is Italy's world-leading maker of top quality technical porcelain stoneware tiles for prestigious floor and wall coverings.

This innovative company offers products recreating some of the world's best-known and most prestigious marbles, granites and quarried stones, offering similar aesthetic properties with improved technical qualities (brilliance, homogeneity, resistance, low absorption).

GranitiFiandre S.p.A. has always stood out for its talent for innovation and its technological advancement, systematically launching advanced new materials and subsequently patenting them (GeoDiamond, Luminar and Crystal are obvious examples).

Since 2009 the company has responded to current trends in the market with an even stronger focus on technology and ecology with the launch of two very important new products. In June 2009 it inaugurated the new Extreme press capable of producing attractively designed marbles, stones and materials in a size unique in the world of porcelain stoneware: 150x75 cm. In September, leading up to the annual Cersaie trade fair, it announced the creation of Active Clean Air & Antibacterial Ceramic™, a new productive method which uses titanium dioxide to transform conventional ceramics into an ecologically active material capable of cutting pollutants and the principal strains of bacteria by up to 99.9%.

These materials are produced with minimal environmental impact, unlike quarried stone, which generates an amount of scrap that vastly exceeds the volume of stone extracted, with significant repercussions for the environment.

Solid porcelain stoneware is produced using the most advanced electronic and mechanical technologies available today.
These technologies ensure that every item produced is different from every other, just as in nature. And two new productive plants opened after IPO in 2001 in Tennessee (USA) by the subsidiary StonePeak Ceramics Inc. (2005) and in Brandenburg (Germany) by the subsidiary Porcelaingres Gmbh (2004), with latest generation research technologies and flexible use of product prototyping facilities, study and design new articles for the Italian plant, for the GranitiFiandre brand and for all the Group's marketing companies.

GranitiFiandre and the Group’s core business is the non-residential market, and so the Group’s marketing policy does not focus exclusively on the classic "wholesaler to final customer" distribution channel but has a sales force and a key account division performing constant widespread promotion among architects and designers, the decision-makers in large-scale projects.

GranitiFiandre has been listed on the stock exchange since June 2001, and was the first to join the STAR (Segmento Titoli ad Alti Requisiti - High Level Requirements Securities Segment) section of the Telematic Stock Exchange in Milan.
GranitiFiandre officially left the Italian stock exchange on March 8, 2011.
