Spanish companies will travel to Bologna, Italy to attend CERSAIE, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings. Now in its 38th year, the annual exhibition celebrates standout furnishings, surfaces, advancements and trends in the bathroom sector. 

This year, 84 companies belonging to The Spanish Ceramic Tile Manufacturer’s Association (ASCER) will present their latest ceramic offerings during the weeklong show that takes place from September 27th to October 1st. This extraordinary representation of companies reflects the Spanish ceramic sector’s commitment to their national and international audience as well as a return to pre-COVID 19 production levels.

During the 2021 edition, CERSAIE has confirmed the participation of more than 800 companies from 26 different countries, with Spain sending the second largest group of exhibitors, behind Italy. Throughout the week, more than 112,000 attendees are expected to traverse the exhibit space in-person, with a digital experience of post-show activities to follow.

For the 2021 edition of the show, ASCER has developed an interactive micro-website, http://tileofspain-cersaie.com/, where visitors can browse the directory of exhibiting Spanish companies, review booth locations, explore product details and access company contact information. Attendees and tile connoisseurs unable to attend the show can stay connected with Spanish companies throughout the week on Instagram via @tileofspain and under the hashtags #TileofSpainIsBack and #TileofSpainAtCersaie.
