With SACMI, an ambitious project for the development and growth of a local sanitaryware industry, focusing on product quality and the creation of new opportunities for development and growth for communities.  

Sanindusa was founded in 1991 in Portugal, quickly gaining a foothold on the European sanitaryware market by focusing on innovation, aesthetic research, quality and practicality. With five production facilities and a presence in over 70 countries, Sanindusa offers a vast product range, from sanitaryware and faucets to bathroom furnishing solutions and ceramic washbasins. Together with SACMI, the company has launched an ambitious expansion plan that focuses on sustainability, automation and the continuous pursuit of excellence.
 

Ceramica Flaminia, a producer of high-quality designer sanitaryware, based in the heart of the Civita Castellana district, offers a unique blend of manufacturing tradition and technological innovation. Flaminia’s all-Italian story began in 1955 when it was founded by 23 young workers looking to build a brighter future. Today, its ultra-modern factory is ready to meet the challenges of sustainability as it continues to deliver a steady flow of great-looking products.
 

Duravit AG is an international group with 11 production plants in Germany, Egypt, China, France, India, Tunisia and Turkey, and over 7,000 employees. All over the globe, the Duravit brand is renowned for its high quality designer ceramic sanitaryware and its meticulous attention to staff training and new technologies.
The Duravit brand offers the guarantee of tradition-based ‘handmade’ quality, plus close, respectful ties with the communities where the company operates. It also focuses on technological innovation as a vital tool for achieving those brand values. Hence the decision to partner up with SACMI on key investment and development projects across Europe and beyond.
