A global leader in GreenBuilding solutions

1.At just 29 years of age, Romano Sghedoni founded Kerakoll in 1968 in Sassuolo, Modena. The company went on to become a leading manufacturer of materials and services in the applied chemical sector for building applications.
2.The first single-component adhesives for ceramics, designed and produced in his garage, were the result of his passion for construction and chemistry, combined with a huge love of engineering.
3.His insight and amazing determination drove him in a continual pursuit of innovation, inventing one new product after another, each one with a unique technology and ease of professional application to make laying homogeneous tiles and natural stone easy, whatever the circumstances.
The global partner
The constant growth that followed enabled the company to extend its operations into the restoration sector, where it turned its attention to tackling waterproofing problems, the deterioration of concrete mistakenly considered indestructible, and the restoration of buildings plagued by damp.
4.Sghedoni also applied his innovative approach to building a motivated team with a shared mission, vision and values. The strong corporate culture that resulted led to the foundation of Kerakoll Global Service in 1990, establishing Kerakoll as a leading name in the consultancy and end-to-end technical support field.
5.The same level of dedication and commitment is being continued in the next generation as his children, Fabio, Gian Luca and Emilia have encouraged the process of internationalisation within the company with the building of an international team, as well as innovatively increasing the value of the brand and being more environmentally friendly.
6.In September 2000 and April 2006, Kerakoll increased its stakes in SLC and Rankover, both leading European manufacturers of ecological adhesives and water- based varnishes for hardwood floors, and eco-friendly, natural decorative paints for GreenBuilding and Historical Restoration.
