Cersaie 2026: when normality is a success

“We delivered a solid edition of the show, with participation remaining at the high levels Cersaie has consistently achieved. In today’s difficult global climate, simply maintaining that level of normality is in itself an achievement. Despite a slight decline in visitor numbers, Cersaie once again confirmed its position as the sector’s leading international exhibition and a unique asset for the Italian ceramic industry.” This was how Augusto Ciarrocchi, Chairman of Confindustria Ceramica, summed up the recently concluded edition of Cersaie.

Costi ETS, l’Italia sta facendo la sua parte, ma il correttivo per la ceramica non può più aspettare

In Europa è in discussione in questi giorni un tema cruciale per l’intero comparto industriale, in particolare per il settore ceramico: la revisione delle quote gratuite di emissione da assegnare, nei prossimi cinque anni, alle imprese esposte al rischio di delocalizzazione a causa dei maggiori costi legati al sistema ETS sulle emissioni di CO₂.
