Vibrant Ceramics 2016 and Vibrant Ceramics 2017 were highly successful in connecting the industry to all corners of the country has been revamped to a new brand called Ceramix 2019 from Vibrant Ceramics as the new platform aims to be the melting pot for all allied industry sector for building and construction, thus giving an opportunity to the entire value chain to come together and do business. It aims to be the one-stop solution for the manufacturers, exporters, importers, distributors, retailers, architects, interior decorators, logistic companies, academicians, researchers, and innovators.

The cluster of Morbi, caters to 90% of India's demand of Ceramic tiles and with the growing demand due to the industrial growth, housing needs, surplus income and spending powers coupled the government's major initiatives of housing for all and smart cities development presents a massive business opportunity for the dealers and distributors from across the country.

The team in its vision to develop this as a full-fledged platform for the stakeholders to come together and do business has connected with manufacturers, architects & interior decorators globally especially in the USA, Spain, China, and Vietnam.

The team visited Spain, which is considered the Mecca of Ceramic Tiles. Ceramix 2019 has made a permanent base in Spain with its team working full time along with the manufacturers of Spain and Italy to collaborate on a long-term basis to ensure interests on both sides. The Manufacturing Association of Spain, ASCER along with its team of Qualicer- the annual knowledge conference shall be participating in Ceramix 2019 to invite speakers, deliberators, researchers, innovators, Industry leaders and trendsetters to come and showcase the new developments to the rest of the ceramic world. ASCER shall also bring the leading manufacturers of the industry from Spain to be a part of Ceramix 2019 giving a chance to Indian dealers and distributors to connect with them.

Last pit stop before the finishing point in India was the Union of Architects in Paris which is the federation of all associations of Architects across the world. The UIA has a rich resource of architects who represent the industry from across the world through its platform of UIA. UIA has agreed to partner with Ceramix 2019 through a delegation of architects by representing from each of the major regions such as North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

For the benefit of Ceramic industry, such an interesting platform is being developed in India and it is making efforts to bring the entire industry value chain to the beneficiaries (dealers and distributors in this case), thereby giving them an opportunity to save on the cost of developing new business opportunity and presenting variety of options.

The opportunity is there, the right time is here, companies and people from India and overseas are ready to connect with Indian dealers and distributors - the main question to be asked to Indian dealers & distributors is, whether the Ceramic industry is ready?
