The construction
A dream becoming true, where it would later become the manufacturing plant of Itagres Revestimentos Cerâmicos.
Starting a dream
"Whenever he passed in front of the company, Humberto used to say that one day he would be part of the institution, dreaming of making it prosper", says Regina Ghisoni Bortoluzzi (wife). In 1982, Mr. Humberto Ghizzo Bortoluzzi buys the factory Pisos Tubarão, beginning its successful path.
Great visionary
Considered a great visionary, Humberto not only sought improvements for the company, but also idealized a great progress for the city of Tubarão, where company is located.
Regional outstanding
Since the beginning the main goals of Pisos Tubarão were to bring quality and satisfaction to customers. And it was participating of fairs and events that the brand gained space in the market.
New business profile
In search of increasing evolution, in 1991 the new profile of the company was presented. With the purpose of producing high-quality tiles, the re-adaptation of the industrial park and investments in technologies became necessary for this new stage. As a representation of this change, the old brand gives way to Itagres Revestimentos Cerâmicos.
Sociocultural Actions
We believe that is only possible to build a better country with education and culture, and with these principles that Itagres in 1996 announced a partnership with the play "Amândio bem amado" by Reginaldo Faria. As well, giving tiles to the Ayrton Senna Institute.
Loss
In 1999, the protagonist and founder of Itagres passes away. His absence leaves the City and political leaders bereaved. But his example and strength served as inspiration for his legacy to continue.
Watershed
In October 2000, the new manufacturing complex was inaugurated. Destined for the production of high standard ceramic tiles and with a technology recently arrived in country, comes up the Lumière collection.
Lumière
The success of Lumière collection was reflected in the advertising campaigns made. Being a pioneer in vitrified tiles, Itagres gained national recognition with its high standard products.
Internacional
Expanding its market share, Itagres starts to export to several countries, consolidating the brand in international exhibitions.
