Stonepeak Ceramics Enhances U.S. Production

CROSSVILLE, Tenn. — Stonepeak Ceramics Inc. will make $10 million in capital investments at its plant here encompassing cutting-edge technologies and quality enhancements, including production of slab-sized porcelain stoneware.

A multi-phase manufacturing upgrade, expected to be completed by the end of December, will enable production XL-gauged porcelain stoneware slabs and high-end large format materials, including new polishing lines and new 12-bar digital printing machines with state-of-the-art capabilities.
