With Italy joint venture, Monalisa smiles with innovative tile products

Chinese ceramic tile maker Monalisa Group Co has launched a production unit in Italy, a joint venture with Gruppo Romani SpA. Industrie Ceramiche, a major Italian tile manufacturer.

Chinese ceramic tiles of Monalisa have a distinct niche in the market. Gruppo has a history of nearly half a century. Their joint venture is expected to improve Monalisa tiles' quality.

"The products, designed and made in Italy, will be sold in the Chinese market. It will be a great step for us to strengthen our self-owned brands and improve quality," said Yang Xiaolin, corporate planning director of Monalisa.
