In an environment as competitive as the production of tableware and porcelain, the reduction of production costs is a key aspect to guarantee the competitiveness of companies.
In Aditivos Cerámicos we offer a technical support service in the reformulation of the body that guarantees a reduction of the costs and an improvement in the mechanical performance of the final product.
List of product groups in the tableware sector:
