Cerrad Design Team

After many years of presence on the Polish and international markets, Cerrad, a Polish gres and clinker tile manufacturer, leads the ranks as one of the most dynamically developing production companies in Europe. Consistent attainment of strategies and investment in modern technologies allowed the manufacturer to realize ambitious projects and establish an innovative path for the company. Over the years, Cerrad created a refined tile portfolio with unparalleled designs, wide colour palettes, excellent technical parameters, many assorted formats and surface finish types (polished, matt, lappato, satin) that cater to the highest standards – both in terms of design as well as quality. Thanks to the completion of a third, fully automated production plant in Starachowice in 2018, along with the state-of-the-art LAMGEA production line, Cerad became one of the most advanced ceramic tile production companies in the world. The manufacturer product portfolio includes large format tiles with the unique 280 x 120 cm and 20 x 240 cm dimensions. The catalogue now also includes a line of innovative 6 mm thick tiles and v-shape treads. In 2019 Cerrad became the strategic investor of companies Ceramika Nowa Gala and Ceramika Gres. The perfectly complimenting product portfolios of all three brands and the increased production capacity to 22 mln m2 furthered the development of an even wider, more innovative product portfolio, that serves the needs of our clients in considerable ways. The high quality of the products offered is confirmed by attestations, certificates and various awards granted to the best manufacturers in the industry. A consistent and well thought out strategy opens up new markets for the company each day, both Polish and global wise. Cerrad tile collections gained client recognition from over 50 countries worldwide. Each year, the product portfolio is also presented at the most important international trade fairs of the industry such as Cersaie, Coverings, Cevisama, BAU and Eurobaustoff.

About DBD

Design Business Directory was founded on the principle that true design excellence cannot be measured by popularity alone. Instead, we believe that the most meaningful indicator of skill, creativity, and professionalism is official recognition by respected international juries who follow transparent, pre-established voting criteria. When a designer, architect, or creative agency enters a rigorous peer review process, one that evaluates submissions against clear quality benchmarks, ethical standards, and innovation requirements, it ensures that any accolades they receive are both credible and deserved and are meritocratic.

Peer-reviewed awards, such as the prestigious A’ Design Award, exist to showcase the very best in design and innovation. The A’ Design Award is judged by a balanced panel of experienced academics, influential press members, and established professionals, all of whom apply a thoroughly documented scoring system. Through this structured method of evaluation, only truly exceptional projects are recognized. This is precisely the level of excellence that Design Business Directory aims to highlight: forward-thinking professionals who have demonstrated mastery in their field according to objective, globally respected criteria.

Because we are committed to presenting only the cream of the crop in design, Design Business Directory accepts listings exclusively from those who have proven themselves in such distinguished competitions. By requiring at least one peer-reviewed award—namely, the A’ Design Award—as a prerequisite for inclusion, we maintain the authenticity and overall quality of the directory. Consequently, to be listed on Design Business Directory, you must have already won the A’ Design Award. This ensures every individual and studio showcased here operates at the highest tier of professional accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
