Ceramicus, Inc. Information

United States Ceramic Tile was founded in 1913 as United States Roofing Tile Company. In 1916, the company shifted its focus to manufacturing 6-inch square extruded red quarry tile and by the mid 1920s began glazing the tiles. In the 1930s, the company invented and patented the process of manufacturing glazed rivot-backed ceramic tiles for vehicular tunnels. During the 1960s, the company pioneered research that led to the development of the first fast-fire roller-hearth kilns, the same type of kilns which are used today to manufacture many ceramic products. United States Ceramic Tile Company's manufacturing technology creates products of the highest quality in both innovation and design. The company has made a significant investment in new product development by expanding its line to include revolutionary new porcelain products. United States Ceramic Tile Company is headquartered in North Canton, Ohio, along with the U.S. operations of its sister companies Roca, Laufen and Incepa. All brands are part of the Roca Group. The combined Roca Group is among the largest sanitaryware and ceramic tile manufacturers in the world with ceramic tile factories in the U.S., Spain and Brazil.
