On July 20, 2006; a historic groundbreaking for a new Porcelain Factory was
held at the Florida Tile Lawrenceburg Site. Using the American
footprint provided by Florida Tile and the world-wide knowledge in porcelain
manufacturing provided by our parent Panariagroup, SPA; we broke
ground on a $20M state-of-the-art porcelain factory.
The new Factory will add an additional 67 new jobs to the
Lawrenceburg Site.
The first phase of the expansion is expected to be
completed in May, 2007.
