Last September, LB signed an important agreement with the multinational company Anatolia for the supply of a complete raw materials storage plant at the Turkish production unit of Izmir. A completely automated plant whose management by means of a software controlling from remote the processes, accesses and number and quantity of stored materials is unique worldwide. The plant will be started-up in summer 2021 and will be fully compliant with the principles of the “smart company”, which means: -reduced lay-out of the plant -lower operation and maintenance costs -lower impact on the environment -possibility to be fully controlled from remote. The raw materials that will be processed with the LB technologies will be used for the production of large size porcelain tiles.

The important multinational group DRACO, European leader in the waterproof products for the building industry, since ever focused in total quality and innovation, has chosen LB for the supply of a complete plant for the production of dry mortars in Split, Croatia. The plant supplied by LB includes the very last technologies developed by the company of Fiorano for the dry mortar sector; it will produce 10 tons per hour of product from sand, calcium carbonate, cement and additives and will be started up in august this year. The Draco plant of Split is a project financed by the European community.

Last April LB signed an agreement with SAXA GRES, the most important producer of floor and wall materials located outside the Sassuolo district, for the supply of a plant consisting of 3 complete lines for the body preparation to make “sampietrini” in porcelain material. This product is a very similar but more economical and sustainable version of the classic basalt cube, which has become an import product from the Asian markets. The above project will let SAXA GRES and its unique products play a more and more important role in the ceramic “Made in Italy”.
