About us Dado Ceramica is a ceramics company that manufactures porcelain stoneware and double-fired tiles for both residential and commercial settings. Founded in 1980 in San Matteo della Decima (Bologna), in the heart of the ceramic manufacturing district of the Emilia Romagna region, for the last 37 years the country has been evolving constantly in terms of both design and technology. Traditionally known for its double-fired wall tiles, over the years the company has added a range of porcelain stoneware floor and wall tiles. Dado Ceramica today manufactures a kaleidoscope of ceramic surfaces, in which colour engages with material, texture with decorations and sizes with graphics for a quality, stylish way to bring a personal touch to any setting. The company’s Italian style and craftsmanship has gained a foothold on all the main international markets, and has been a stable, distinctive presence on the Italian market since its foundation. Dado Ceramica leads the EcoDADO+Group in which it cooperates along with Antica Ceramica Rubiera and Cotto Petrus/Trial Ceramica.
