BMR announces the opening of its new logistics headquarters in Dickson-Tennessee (USA) at the Coverings trade fair.
BMR has crossed the Atlantic and has landed for the first time at Coverings, the leading trade fair for ceramics and natural stone that was held in Chicago from April 18th to 21st. It was an important debut in an extraordinary showcase that not only included the most prestigious American manufacturers but Italian and international companies as well.
This choice made by BMR, the company based in Scandiano (Reggio Emilia) and leader in the design and manufacture of complete polishing/lapping-treatment lines and cutting/splitting-squaring lines for ceramic tiles and slabs, managed by Paolo Sassi, is part of a broader context of internationalization. This sees the company as the leader in new important areas of the market in which more than 40 years of Made in Italy experience and professionalism are widely appreciated.
The Coverings trade fair was the opportunity for BMR to announce the opening of its new logistics headquarters in Dickson, Tennessee (USA), in the heart of the American “ceramics valley”.
The purpose of the branch, which was opened in collaboration with LB based in Fiorano Modenese (which has been an international reference point for press feeding and dry grinding systems for over 40 years), is to bring Made in Italy technological innovation to America. To achieve this, they will offer their expertise and professionalism of the sector to the local market by providing technical and commercial assistance services through close contact with customers.
Through their Dickson branch, LB and BMR will support the North American ceramics companies with their unique innovative solutions, guaranteeing the best possible support together with punctual and immediate advice. Additionally, it will be possible to offer technical and qualitative upgrading of the production processes used in the American ceramic industry, following the principles of energy efficiency and production efficiency that are the cornerstones of their continuous technological research.
BMR has installed more than 25 complete lines in America for the most famous and influential ceramics companies in the country.
The installations are mainly centred on the polishing and squaring technologies for high quality porcelain tiles produced in the more traditional 600×1200 mm size, but which has more recently tended towards the new trends in “big size” slabs.
Today, in order to meet the needs of a constantly evolving sector, BMR provides assistance to its customers even more closely by manufacturing and providing after sales services for remarkable technologies that include: LevigaPlus, a well-established polishing process and innovative in the field of lapping, which helps to enhance the progress in terms of decorations, effects and shades that digital decoration technology has managed to produce on glazed surfaces and designed to processes slabs of up to 1600×3200 mm; Top Coat, Top Finishing and Supershine, the three treatment lines that differ according to the type of surface and porosity to be treated that guarantee the best results on polished / lapped technical porcelain and lapped-glazed technical porcelain while preserving their ease of cleaning and gloss. In the case of Supershine, the surfaces appear even glossier; Multiblade, Dry Cut and Trasla (scoring and cutting devices), Squadra, Squadra Dry and Top Squadra Dry, leading technologies for cutting/splitting-squaring ceramic tiles and slabs, available in both wet and dry process versions designed to be used with any type of ceramic material and for any size up to 1600×3200 mm.
The company from Scandiano once again confirms the importance it places on its customers, the users of its technological developments, and the best product quality and service, thereby guaranteeing the value of Made in Italy excellence throughout the world.
