Grespania is looking towards the future with confidence thanks to the strong position our history of solid achievement has won for us and because we have the necessary tools to confront the situation and maintain our leading ranking in the industry.

Investment, innovation, quality and internationalisation: these are the pillars on which our business is built and which are pivotal for the road map we have set out for ourselves in the medium and long term. The core aspects of the strategic plan that we have implemented are:
the modernisation of the facilities in which the careful manufacturing process takes place to ensure the very highest quality; logistical support for our subsidiary companies abroad; the strengthening of the design departments so that they can adapt the latest decorative trends to the world of ceramics; and constant concern for the environment.

In the last few years, Grespania has become a byword for productivity and innovation in the Spanish tile industry. Between 2005 and 2008 we put two new production plants into operation. First, we replaced the Castellón floor tile works with a state of the art factory to produce porcelain stoneware using the most advanced manufacturing techniques. Amongst the improvements introduced in this plant is the new “technological tower”, a highly sophisticated structure that offers unlimited versatility for the production process. The tower—twenty-four metres tall—consists of four levels where the clays for the porcelain stoneware are blended, batched and distributed according to whether they are to be used in glazed or “technical” tiles and according to the effect it is desired to obtain—scales, granulation or veins, amongst others. The whole process is completely automated.

Secondly, in 2008 we opened our new plant in Nules to produce monoporous wall tiles, which included the enlargement of the intelligent warehouse. Between them, these innovations have meant an investment of 53 million euros.

Our warehouse is completely computerised, covers a surface area of 22,000 square metres and has a storage capacity of 60,000 pallets. In addition, it contains an intelligent zone in which 27,000 pallets can be stored at 17 levels.

In the intelligent zone each pallet is entered into stock, tracked and managed by a powerful computer system that receives the orders to be dispatched, locates and extracts the desired products and sends them to the order-preparation section.br>
Furthermore, our computer system can provide information for any client, anywhere in the world and at any time, on the availability of material in our warehouse and order status in real time.
