Keraglass, a Cifin Group company, continues to sustain the rate of growth recorded in
the first half of 2017. According to data as at August 2017, Keraglass has exceeded its
full-year sales turnover for 2016 by 40%, achieving a higher profit margin and higher
quality standards, as well as developing innovative technological solutions, including
patented solutions.
The partnership between Keraglass and the Cifin Group was established in 2014 thanks
to the farsighted vision of the shareholders, who understood how the two sectors of
glass processing and aluminium processing could be complementary to each other.
“It is a winning strategy,” says Stefano Spezzani, founder of Keraglass, “confirmed by
the growing number of customers who purchase both technologies.”
The company’s growth is equally satisfying for Valter Caiumi, President and CEO of
Cifin, who underlined that the positive results are the result of: “effective and harmoni-
ous teamwork that focuses on meeting customer needs by means of technological solu-
tions that are increasingly sophisticated, innovative and complementary”.
The shareholders declared that according to the three-year strategic plan, which derives
from a common vision and the pooling of synergistic technical and organisational capa-
bilities, profits are constantly reinvested in the company to achieve shared growth objec-
tives, including through investments into R&D and new product development, services,
new technologies and new production facilities.
