DECARBONIZATION
Pioneers in emission-free ceramics production
Knock-on effect on the industry
Driving force for a sustainable ceramic industry, both in sanitaryware production and in other products, such as structural and technical ceramics and dishware.
European success story
Collaboration between Roca Group’s headquarters in Spain, the plant in Austria and Keramischer OFENBAU in Germany.
Gmunden, the world’s first ceramic sanitaryware plant with net-zero emissions in 2024
The group’s plant in Gmunden, which already uses 100% renewable electric power, was chosen for the first electric kiln installation in view of its specialization in high-quality and late-generation production of ceramic pieces. The installation of this technology ensures that it will become the first ceramic sanitaryware production plant in the world with net-zero emissions.
Participation in Keramischer OFENBAU to lead the sustainable ceramic industry
The project was carried out through a pioneering collaboration with Keramischer OFENBAU, market leader in energy-efficient ceramic kilns. To advance together toward a sustainable ceramic industry, the group has acquired a majority share in the company through Roca Group Ventures, although both businesses will remain completely independent.
