Iris Ceramica Group

How we built "a great group"

“The extra step lies in courageously creating a market for new products or for updating existing ones. But to do this, innovation must be integrated with cultural depth, creativity with managerial drive. Innovation becomes not only a goal, but the engine of a new strategy, a common thread that brings together the forces most attentive to change, both inside and outside companies. New lifestyles require new products. Growing values, such as those of the indoor and outdoor environments of homes, offices, and public spaces, are pushing towards a renewal in the way materials are used. The past does not return; the future belongs to those who innovate their minds and, consequently, their way of working.” Romano Minozzi Founder

Iris Ceramica Group designs, develops, and manufactures high-tech surfaces and solutions for the world of architecture, furniture, and high-end design.

SUSTAINABILITY

For Iris Ceramica Group, industrial innovation must be based on a tangible balance between economic development and environmental protection. The equation ECONOMY = ECOLOGY, formulated by President and Founder Romano Minozzi between the late 1960s and early 1970s, continues to guide the Group’s strategic choices and underpins its founding pillars — PLANET, PEOPLE, PARTICIPATION — within an approach aligned with the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda.

Investing in clean technologies, adopting circular economy models, alongside valuing people and strengthening ties with local communities, are just some of the initiatives undertaken by Iris Ceramica Group to help shape a better present and future.
