Within Italian plant engineering for the tile manufacturing industry, BMR is a leading company that has been producing end-of-line technologies for the production of ceramic tiles for over 40 years. The company employs roughly 65 staff members, distributed between the headquarters in Scandiano (Reggio Emilia) and the factory where polishing machines are produced in Schio (Vicenza). BMR, directed by Paolo Sassi, generates 45% of its turnover from the Italian tile manufacturing district. Its main reference customers are major tile manufacturing groups in Italy and abroad, especially on the marketplaces of Russia, Brazil and the Far East of Asia. This last area, which before now was overruled by Chinese competitors, is growing strongly, which further confirms the technological primacy of BMR.
