Kitchen ceramics with tradition and history<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
systemceram GmbH & Co. KG is a young company with a long-standing tradition. This apparent paradox is deceiving, as the origin of today\u2019s company is the cast ceramics division of KCH Keramchemie founded in 1928.<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

History<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
With the strategic re-orientation of KCH Keramchemie, at the focus of which was acid resistance, the ceramic activities were discontinued on Dec. 31, 1991. At the same time, the founders of today\u2019s systemceram, Gerhard G\u00f6bel, Manfred Engel and Peter Noll acquired the cast ceramics unit as part of a management buy-out, making it into an owner-managed family business out of a group-managed company division. This ensured that technological knowhow was able to be continued to be used, expanded and refined.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Philosophy<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Medium-sized batches on the one hand and the manufacture of resistant products subject to extreme strain on the other hand- the modern production facilities are geared toward the manufacture of ceramics specialties and not toward mass-produced goods. The production flexibility derived from this has made systemceram the contact point for special solutions and for this reason, we are able to show several renowned bathroom equipment suppliers in our customer portfolio.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
