Forty years of passion for chemistry.

Smaltochimica was created following a piece of brilliant intuition by Ivano Piccinini, who in 1977, after graduating in chemistry at the University of Modena, fulfilled his dream of combining his passion for chemistry with his entrepreneurial flair.

Even today, the long and successful history of the company, committed to ceramics for more than forty years, continues to drive research towards new goals.

Vocation for ceramics.

Smaltochimica is based in Sassuolo, at the heart of the most famous ceramic district in the world, where companies are surrounded by innovation and where it is rekindled every day thanks to an unparalleled combination of skills and technologies that are second to none.
