About us

We are an Italian company that has very deep roots, over 60 years old, which is aimed to support beauty, innovation and sustainability.

Passion, innovation, and sustainability

An innate passion for beauty and a strong determination have led us to challenge conventions, transforming what everyone calls a tile from a functional object into a design element. Over 60 years of history, rooted in the ceramic district of Sassuolo (MO), connects to a present as an international trendsetter, thanks to the leadership of Claudio Lucchese and a high-end product recognized in markets around the world.

Made in Florim is, for us, a guarantee of quality, innovation, Italian craftsmanship, and a particular focus on corporate social responsibility.

60 years of history have made us what we are today: proud of our roots but with an eye toward the future
