What is the secret behind the success of Atlas Concorde and how is technological innovation being met for such a long period of time?

Many factors have contributed to Atlas Concorde’s global success. First of all, constant investment in technological innovation and research. Today the Fiorano and Finale Emilia plants in Italy have state-of-the-art facilities.

Atlas Concorde manufactures products of the highest value for every type of tile, based both on the original inspiration (wood, marble, stone, fabric, cement) and on the technical characteristics and application (large formats, thicker slabs, specific solutions for the hospitality and urban furnishings). That’s why our product range is the true strength of Atlas Concorde, which has few competitors for breadth and depth. Breadth because it offers indoor and outdoor floor and wall tiles for every type of application; depth because each collection has a complete selection of colors, sizes, surfaces, decorations and can satisfy even the most particular request.Atlas Concorde-Marveledge-Scale Magazine

Indeed, we could even say that by combining the products in the range, architects, interior designers, and advanced consumers can find solutions that are tailor-made for their projects.

What is the Unique Selling Point of the ceramic tiles offered by Atlas Concorde?

Atlas Concorde’s real strength is its catalog, the result of a multi-perspective product strategy, capable of striving for excellence in every stylistic and technical segment.

Porcelain tile floors and walls for residential and commercial environments, large formats, solutions for outdoor spaces, large architecture and urban furnishings, ceramic walls tiles of absolute beauty. Marble, stone, wood, cement, three-dimensional relief: each source of inspiration is reinterpreted with such originality and attention that it is transformed into a ceramic material with an autonomous stylistic identity.
Of all the Atlas Concorde collections that have marked a turning point for the ceramic tile business, the Marvel World project truly stands out. It consists of floor and wall tiles that realistically evoke the precious nature of marble, bringing its visual power to prestigious spaces that until then had only been the domain of natural materials.Atlas Concorde_Marvel Dream_Scale Magazine
