Award presentation in English
The TecnAwards at TECNA celebrate the best technological investments made by international customers in the period 2022-2024, underscoring TECNA’s role in connecting suppliers and ceramic manufacturers.
The TecnAwards 2024 cover nine categories.
Four awards will be assigned directly by the exhibitors, who will have the opportunity to nominate their customers for several categories and select the winners. The other category winners will be chosen by the organisers of Tecna, the magazine Ceramic World Review and Italian design firms.
The exhibitors will select the winners of the following award categories:
- “Best new plant (tile sector)”, which will honour the six ceramic companies (one for each geographical region) that have built the best new production plant or modernised an existing facility;
- “Innovation and sustainability”, which will go to companies that have demonstrated a clear commitment to process digitalisation and efficient data management while reducing the environmental impact of their production processes;
- “Best brick manufacturer” and “Best sanitaryware producer”, which will be awarded to companies in the two segments that have excelled in the past two years in terms of business growth and product and process innovation.
A celebration toast will follow to close the awards ceremony.
