Tailor-made solutions to shape your ideas with precision and efficiency.
For over three decades, Designa Surfaces has been shaping the ceramic and porcelain world through the pursuit of excellence — combining technological sophistication with a timeless understanding of materials. What began in 1992 as a family-led journey in sourcing and refining ceramic raw materials has today evolved into a network of eight state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, each a reflection of our philosophy: innovation through mastery
Designa`s facilities are not just factories — they are architectural ecosystems where science, art, and precision converge. Each plant has been designed to embody our commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and scalable production. Together, these units operate as an integrated system that supports our global presence, catering to diverse architectural needs, from residential interiors to complex commercial and façade applications

Our manufacturing legacy traces back to the roots of India`s ceramic heartland, guided by an Italian-inspired design ethos. Every phase of production — from raw material selection to the final polish of each porcelain slab — is executed with uncompromising precision. Over the decades, Designa has invested not just in machines but in mastery. Each generation of innovation reflects a deep understanding of materials, textures, and design demands across global markets.
Our vision is simple yet powerful — to create surfaces that empower architects and designers to think without limits. To achieve this, we`ve built one of the most advanced porcelain production ecosystems in Asia, seamlessly blending technology, human expertise, and environmental responsibility.
Our eight manufacturing units operate under a shared innovation protocol — ensuring that every slab, tile, and surface embodies uniform quality and aesthetic brilliance. The integration of high-tonnage presses, digital glazing lines, and automated quality control systems ensures consistency in every square meter produced.
Designa’s plants are equipped with cutting-edge European machinery, including hydraulic presses that exert over 7200 tons of pressure — enabling the formation of ultra-dense porcelain bodies with minimal porosity. The result is a product that delivers exceptional strength, uniformity, and design clarity.
Each production line is supported by AI-driven inspection systems, robotic material handling, and digitally synchronized kilns that maintain temperature stability within micro degrees — ensuring flawless vitrification. The controlled sintering process at over 1200°C guarantees structural strength and visual perfection, creating porcelain surfaces with unmatched whiteness, clarity, and detail.
Every great surface begins with a design vision. Our in-house design and R&D teams collaborate to translate natural inspiration into architectural reality. Using high-resolution 3D scanning and digital modeling, we reinterpret marble, stone, and concrete textures into porcelain art forms.
From the veining of Italian Calacatta marble to the subtle layers of sandstone, Designa’s creative process combines the emotional appeal of natural aesthetics with the precision of technology. Each pattern is digitally curated and applied through multi-layered inkjet systems that replicate natural variation with a sense of depth and authenticity that only true craftsmanship can achieve.
Our designers work side-by-side with architects and project consultants worldwide — developing exclusive surface collections tailored to their design language and functional requirements. This collaboration-driven process ensures that Designa is not just a manufacturer but a partner in design innovation.
The making of a Designa porcelain slab is a carefully choreographed process — a symphony of precision, energy, and time. It begins with the careful selection and refinement of raw materials sourced from around the world. Kaolin, feldspar, silica, and minerals are combined in perfect ratios, refined through our proprietary purification process to achieve maximum purity.
Once refined, the materials are atomized into ultra-fine granules using spray-drying technology, resulting in a uniform powder ready for pressing. Hydraulic presses transform this powder into dense porcelain bodies — a moment of transformation where science meets craftsmanship.
The green body then undergoes digital glazing, where advanced print heads and controlled application systems impart design, color, and surface depth. After glazing, the slabs are fired in multi-channel kilns, reaching temperatures that ensure complete vitrification — the process that gives porcelain its legendary hardness and water resistance.
Following firing, each slab passes through precision calibration and nano-polishing lines. These systems create finishes ranging from ultra-matte to mirror gloss, textured, satin, and leather-touch — enabling designers to explore limitless creative directions.
Every slab that bears the Designa name undergoes more than 30 quality checks, measured against international standards for strength, flatness, color consistency, and surface perfection. Our in-house laboratories test mechanical resistance, thermal shock stability, slip performance, and color fastness under UV and chemical exposure.
Each phase of production is fully traceable through our ERP-integrated systems — ensuring accountability and transparency from raw material to final delivery. Designa’s commitment to quality has earned it the trust of architects, developers, and importers across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Innovation for us does not end with technology; it extends into responsibility. Our facilities are designed to minimize environmental impact through energy-efficient kilns, waste heat recovery systems, and closed-loop water recycling. Over 95% of our process waste is reintroduced into production, creating a near-zero waste manufacturing cycle.
Solar panels power portions of our operations, and our goal is to expand renewable energy integration across all eight facilities by 2030 as part of our Designa Green Vision.
While our operations are defined by technology, our identity is anchored in human skill. Each surface passes through expert eyes and hands trained in the art of perfection. Whether it’s a high-gloss marble-look slab or a textured architectural surface, craftsmanship ensures individuality within uniformity — a hallmark of true Italian design philosophy.
Our philosophy is built on three principles:
Precision through Innovation – Constantly redefining production through advanced technology.
Beauty through Collaboration – Working with architects and designers to realize bespoke visions.
Responsibility through Sustainability – Committing to a future where design and environment coexist.
Designa Surfaces represents more than production capacity — it embodies a culture of innovation and excellence. Every factory, every technician, and every process serves a singular mission: to create surfaces that empower architecture and elevate design to a timeless form.
“Each slab is not merely produced; it is composed — a composition of time, technology, and artistry. That is the soul of Designa Manufacturing.”
