More than 95 years of hard material experience

The company, which is the result of the merger of the Luxembourg based CERAMETAL and the Austria based Plansee Tizit in 2002, can look back on more than 95 years of experience in the hard material business and has grown significantly over the last years, today boasting more than 9,000 employees, 34 production sites and a sales network of over 70 branch offices. In the last fiscal year, the CERATIZIT Group was once again able to achieve a new record turnover of more than 1.2 billion euros. With a year-to-year growth of over 15% and a turnover that has more than quintupled over the last ten years, the Indian subsidiaries contributed significantly to this success story.

Today, the Group has three production sites – one in Kolkata and two in Bengaluru – and more than 630 employees in India and attaches great importance to producing in India.
