RECOUNTING A TRUE SUCCESS STORY

In 1961, when Romano Minozzi began his entrepreneurial journey with the first Iris Ceramica company, it was immediately clear that his entire professional life would be driven by innovation.

Today, this entrepreneurial story is revealed through a permanent exhibition of ceramic tiles, special products, catalogs and publications, unfolding chronologically and spanning almost six decades.
A Museum destined to evolve and expand over time, since all the companies in the Group are committed to ongoing research into innovative technical and aesthetic solutions, which tomorrow will be displayed in this exhibition.

Walking through the Iris Ceramica Group Historical Museum, located in its headquarters in Fiorano Modenese, you can see the evolution of the Italian ceramic district, not only from a products point of view, but there is also an extensive display of marketing projects which have helped to promote the Group and contributed to its success.

It is an unprecedented perspective on the Group’s evolving image and ethos, from the early days of the Sixties to the present. In addition, it recounts its entrepreneurial history based on ongoing projects, developed to create consumer confidence in international markets, where today the Group is an undisputed market leader.
