[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||20px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The high geographical concentration of the Spanish ceramics industry in Castell\u00f3n accounts for almost 20% of the industrial GDP of the Valencia Region.<\/strong> The province is home to 80% of ceramic floor and wall tile manufacturers, as well as the vast majority of glazes, frits, and colours, and machinery and capital goods manufacturers.<\/p>\n

Beyond its commercial and employment potential (60,000 direct and indirect jobs<\/strong>), the cluster remains at the forefront of Spanish industry by generating added value through constant innovation<\/strong>, compatible with its commitment to sustainability<\/strong>. Along with the companies, the scientific contribution of research institutes such as the ITC, located at Jaume I University, and the role of professional organisations such as the Spanish Association of Ceramic Technicians (ATC), are decisive in how the cluster is configured.<\/p>\n
