Superior
physical and chemical characteristics – together with beautiful aesthetics –
are the distinguishing feature of all Nexion collections.
To
achieve the highest quality standards Nexion exploits decades of experience at
both
Ceramiche
Speranza in Italy and
Simpolo Group in India
and devotes significant resources to continuous improvement.
Nexion’s
plant in India
– the only one co-owned by an Italian and an Indian company – exploits the
latest Italian machinery to manufacture high quality slabs and large size
tiles.
The
plant has a very high degree of automation, as required to consistently achieve
the high levels of quality demanded by sophisticated customers in India
and internationally.
According
to the best practice, quality standards refer to the norms included in ISO
13006: Annex G - EN 14411 and all tests are
carried out by renowned laboratories in Italy, accredited according to
ISO/IEC 17025:2005.
At the
plant, Nexion runs tests on all raw materials, semi-finished goods and
endproducts through the whole production process, under coordination of the
Quality Assurance Department.
To get
the best possible result, the company has devised an integrated set of rules,
named Nexion Quality Assurance Procedures
(NQAP), to control all aspects of slabs
manufacturing, that determine the physical
and chemical characteristics of products.
NQAP
include measurement processes, benckmark values and operating procedures for:
● Chemical characteristics of raw materials, asking for every single shipment
is
tested before the raw material enters into production process.
● Intrinsic physical properties of slabs and tiles, such as caliber and dimensions,
orthogonality, planarity, water absorption and breaking strength.
● Usage-related properties of products, such as resistance to scratch and
abrasion, thermal shock resistance, resistance to acid, stains, household
chemicals and slippery.
