Within the US ceramic market, BMR continues to consolidate its position thanks to the Crossville, Tennessee site, inaugurated in 2017 after the first opening in Dickson.
Here in the ceramic valley made in the USA, BMR USA stands as a veritable logistics hub stocked with a wide range of spare parts that allows it to manage supplies and requests for technical assistance even faster and more efficiently. The recent creation of the workshop for the regeneration of the squaring and, soon, also of lapping mandrels, also allows for an increase in the offer of services for the companies within the district, many of them Italian, which until now were made prohibitive by the transport costs to and from Italy.
The value of BMR’s US headquarters is therefore perceived as a real plus and allows the link between the Scandiano company and the most important ceramic companies in the USA to be further consolidated.
An important example is that of Florim which, in its production site in Clarksville-Tennessee, has installed a full-tile lapping line and stain-proofing treatment relying on the BMR technology of the respective LevigaPlus and Supershine machines. The Florim USA plant was completed with a cutting and squaring line composed of Dry Cut and Top Squadra Dry, recently integrated with an identical second one.
Even StonePeak Ceramics chooses BMR and does so by signing with the Scandiano (RE) company the installation of the first plant in the USA dedicated to the supply of large slabs and its sub-formats. This important production complex established in 2005 in Crossville that records a tile production of about 6 million square meters/year, has purchased from BMR three finishing lines composed of 2 squaring lines and a lapping line with treatment island, all dedicated to large sizes 1600 × 3200 mm.
This is a further affirmation of the value of ceramics Made in Italy on the American market, where aesthetics and technology are the guarantees of the best quality standards recognized throughout the world.
