Sacmi Do Brasil wins Mundo Ceramico’s supplier of the year award

The Brazilian ceramic magazine “Mundo Ceramico” has assigned the Mundo Ceramico 2006 award to Sacmi Do Brasil. This award is granted to suppliers who have distinguished themselves by providing the market with products, equipment and services at a level of excellence. The voting was organised by Wilhelm & Martini, independent consultants who carried out a survey from March to April of this year. The full results will be published in the special Prize-dedicated edition of “Mundo Ceramico”.
The award is divided into three categories. In the first, reserved for suppliers of machines and equipment for complete lines, Sacmi Do Brasil won 44% of the votes among the three candidate companies. In the second, dedicated to suppliers of pressing machines and equipment, Sacmi Do Brasil obtained, together with another company, 47% of the vote out of the three companies selected. Suppliers of machines and equipment for drying lines battled it out in the third category: among the five candidate companies, Sacmi Do Brasil won a convincing 35% of the votes.
This Sacmi Group company was founded on 24th June 1969. Originally set up as a sales branch it steadily developed to become, in 1994, a producer of machines for ceramic and plastic. In April 2003 it moved to a new 8300-square-metre facility in Mogi Mirin, 170 km north of San Paolo. Sacmi Do Brasil’s market presence continues to grow and the company is steadily becoming a multi-functional hub for other Group companies, supplying essential technical and sales services, spare parts and technical support.
