Products of Ceramics
We source the vast majority of the clay used in our stoneware and tile bodies from the heartland of ceramics – the Kannenbäckerland in the Westerwald.
We produce architectural ceramics for indoor and outdoor use in stoneware quality. We source the main mineral raw materials for our stoneware and tile bodies predominantly from the Kannenbäckerland region in the Westerwald, one of Europe’s most important areas for ceramic raw materials. We source special glazes and precious metals from specialist suppliers worldwide. Whenever possible, we commission suppliers from the local region.
As well as ceramic production, we also offer contract firing of your greenware. Our ceramists at the Ransbach-Baumbach site provide these services, glazing and firing of biscuit ware, for you. At the plant, we have kilns of various sizes and specifications at our disposal.

Ceramic compounds are made from mineral raw materials. Suitable production residues and rejects from the manufacturing process are processed and incorporated into new ceramic compounds as secondary raw materials. This reduces the use of primary raw materials and results in less production waste.
Cast ceramic is very easy to look after. It offers practically no contact surface for water, dust and dirt. On the exterior it for the most part is self-cleaning with the aid of rain, wind and weather conditions. If dirt is bad – for example graffiti, it can be cleaned with chemical cleaners without damage to the upper surface occurring.
Our cast ceramic is very fine pored, so water has no chance of getting in. The materials cannot burst or rip and can even stand up against extreme weather conditions and temperature fluctuations.
