Ceramic highlights for indoors and outdoors

From 24 to 28 February 2025, the 41st edition of Cevisama, the International Trade Fair for the Ceramics Industry, will once again open its doors in Valencia. In addition to new products, projects and technical innovations, topics such as decarbonisation and recyclability will once again be at the forefront of discussions.

This year, exhibition partner Ascer is tackling a more emotional issue. With its "The Secret Ingredient" campaign, the Spanish Association of Ceramic and Tile Manufacturers is focusing on the European ceramics sector and its demands for design, quality, sustainability and innovative production. The association is concerned with respect, the environment, cultural heritage, working conditions and the regional roots of the ceramics industry. More than 100 companies are members of Ascer. Their products and showrooms appeal not only to Spanish architects and interior designers, but also to those in European and German-speaking countries.
