The 18th edition of Tecnargilla, the world's largest exhibition of technology and supplies for the ceramic and brick industries, will be held in Rimini from October 1-5, 2002. The exhibition is organized by Ente Fiera di Rimini and S.A.L.A. and promoted in cooperation with Acimac (Italian ceramic plant and machinery manufacturers' association). As is now traditional, the show will be held concurrently with Cersaie in Bologna -- the world's largest exhibition devoted to ceramic tiles -- to allow industry professionals to visit both events in just one week. For the first time ever, Tecnargilla 2002 will be hosting Kromatech, a special section devoted exclusively to companies involved in the development of aesthetic solutions for ceramic tiles, sanitaryware and tableware. These include design studios, third fire and ceramic decoration manufacturers and suppliers of stains, glazes, frits, pigments, fluxes and decal transfers. Kromatech will be of interest to ceramic industry entrepreneurs and technicians in general, and more specifically to sales managers, art directors, designers and architects, allowing them to gain a valuable insight into tomorrow's products and market trends.
