Formigine, 11 December2017 - Ancora, a SITI B&T Group Company, as well as leader in the design and production of complete lines for ceramic product finishing (listed on the AIM Italia stock exchange - Ticker: SITI), once again gains the trust of one of the most well-known brands in the field of world ceramics, RAK Ceramics, headquartered in the United Arab Emirates.

For the finishing of large-format ceramic slabs, nowadays particularly sought after by the market, RAK Ceramics chose the 'Made in Italy' solutions by Ancora. A Speed-Drydry squaring and chamfering line was installed in the Tehran, Iran factory.

A green technology that, in addition to avoiding the use of primary resources such as water - with all that follows regarding healthiness of the working environment - brings a great many economic and productive benefits: from the system's durability and maintenance, energy consumption, up to the consumption of diamond tipped tools. Thanks to the SITI B&T Group's extreme attention to Total Cost of Operation, these technological solutions therefore result in a clear and obvious savings in operating costs for the customer (significant for this type of machine).

Still at the RAK Iran plant, Ancora has also installed a grinding, squaring and chamfering line, including HiCoat surface treatment, for formats up to 1200×1200 mm.

'This prestigious partnership,' says Franco Ponsone, Managing Director of Ancora, 'attests to the unmatched value of our specific know-how on large formats, for which we are leaders, offering higher performance solutions than any other competing company, thanks to our patents. In general, the finishing market is growing, and all of our customers want to improve the quality of their products to better take on the international competition'.

RAK Ceramics annually produces over 110 million square metres of ceramic and porcelain stoneware flooring and wall coverings and 5 million bathroom fixtures in its 16 factories distributed between United Arab Emirates, India, Bangladesh and Iran, with annual turnover of approximately $ 1 billion. The company is listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange in the United Arab Emirates and on the Dhaka Stock Exchange in Bangladesh.
