Headquartered in Brazil, tile manufacturer Portobello America Inc. recently took receipt of 630 tons of machinery from Imola, Italy-based SACMI Group for a new production plant in Baxter, Tennessee. From dough preparation to presses and ovens, SACMI—a global supplier for the ceramics, closures, preforms and containers, food and beverage, packaging, metals and advanced materials industries and services—supplied the com- pany with the key machines for the plant. The various parts of the investment support a single vision: to create an ultra-modern pro- duction unit at the Baxter headquarters in line with Portobello’s growth in North America, which is the production of 8-9 million square meters of tile annually.
