The production process of decorative technical ceramics complies with the strictest environmental protection regulations and even exceeds the legal standards. The materials, in fact, are obtained by mixing the safest clays and minerals without the use of glazes.
Decorative technical ceramics, faithfully reproducing marble, stone and granite in the factory, combines the undoubted qualities of stone (three-dimensionality, non-repeatability, workability) with the elevated performance of the finest unglazed porcelain stoneware (the veining throughout the tile body, high resistance to frost, stains and wear, fineness and availability).

In FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti production factory you may admire the most advanced technologies used to manufacture slabs of marble, granite, travertine and other stones.

Research
FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti dedicates much of its resources to research and to the development of new materials with ever changing characteristics. The research centre of FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti experiments the feasibility of its ideas using a complete pilot production line. The go-ahead for mass production is only given if the marble and granite materials actually pass very strict aesthetic and technical tests.

Production
The viable alternative to marble, granite and quarried stone are the marble, granite and stone products manufactured by FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti. For this reason FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti overcomes the antique myths of fire and earth and reproduces slabs that are perfectly comparable with those mined from the mountains.
The aesthetic advantages of the random veining features right through the full body of the slab and of the colouring are reproduced perfectly, while the technical characteristics are even improved.

The outstanding effort made by FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti towards research, exclusive and patented technologies, updating and personnel training have lead to excellent results. Using the slabs manufactured by FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti you can cover all types of horizontal or vertical surfaces, both outdoors and indoors, from very large surfaces to those of more complex and refined design.
What nature has created over geological eras of hundreds of thousands of years, FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti is able to manufacture in just a few hours thanks to a processing cycle very similar to that of nature.

The production process involves 6 main stages:

1. Selection of raw materials
2. Grinding
3. Atomization
4. Pressing
5. Firing
6. Sorting
