Citytiles

MISSION A new home, a real home, made from materials that encompass, yet at the same time amplify space by opening it up to life, to the need for warmth and intimacy and for refreshing freedom. All this is addressed by the products made by Citytile's, a dynamic young, yet mature Emilian concern that owes its expansion to its innovative paving solutions for outdoor, public and residential contexts. It perceives what is required and creates what does not yet exist through its love for materials, technology and the environment. This is the love of a company of today for a world that craves a future. THINK GREEN Environmental impact, energy costs, climate change... contemporary words and concepts for an age-old issue: the relationship between man and nature. In our line of work this now translates as sustainable construction. To us this is no abstract concept, but a series of tangible objective parameters: CO2 emissions, the use of natural resources and waste production. We have mesaured ourselves against these problems and have been able to come up with: zero CO2 emissions, low recycled water consumption, the use of recycled materials alone, the re-use of production scrap and zero waste. This ecological decision is no marketing image; it is corporate environmental responsibility, for the constructors of today are the builders of tomorrow. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Those in the manufacturing business need knowledge and those in the field of science can benefit from the experiences of manufacturers. Industry and research share the responsibility for innovation. This is why, under the supervision of Prof. Marcello Romagnoli, Citytile's works with the DIMA (Dipartimento di Ingegneria dei Materiali e dell’Ambiente-the department of materials science and environmental engineering) of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia - www.dima.unimore.it
