OUR ROOTS

Our roots, our value:
This is who we are.

It is a story that began in 1968, when Carlo Salvarani bought the land in Casalgrande from which he started his entrepreneurial adventure. Since then the company has grown, first under his leadership, then under that of his children Alessandra and Filippo.

Today, Gresmalt is one of the leading players in the ceramic tile sector in Italy in terms of produced square metres. Through years of steady growth, Gresmalt has expanded its activities by acquiring several brands and plants. Today, the Group is made up of different production and commercial entities that work in synergy.

50 years of all-Italian history, thinking fast to keep up with the times.
