• VIRTUAL TOUR OF BERALMAR

Behind a catalogue or a business card there may be hiding anything from a multinational to a private home address.

For BERALMAR, what is hidden is a well structured organization equipped with modern facilities both in the office and in the factory, able to design and manufacture the full range of equipment for drying and firing processes as well as all the associated automations.

Although it receives customers almost every week, BERALMAR has recently issued a video to showcase its headquarters in Terrassa (Barcelona). It is dedicated to all those of our customers and friends who have not yet had the opportunity to meet us on our own premises.

We hope this video will help to raise awareness of the reality of our organization.

• TWO MICROMATIC SYSTEMS SUPPLIED IN SPAIN

BERALMAR is soon to provide CERÁMICA ESPÍRITU SANTO de Alameda de la Sagra (Toledo, Spain) with two systems for two kilns producing 500 and 600 tn/day of thermal clay blocks.

This is good news for business confidence, after several years in which, as in many other countries, Spanish ceramics have suffered from the serious decline in building activity.

This investment will certainly increase the competitiveness of CERÁMICA ESPÍRITU SANTO help it face the future with greater optimism.
