CTCV 2025: An Industry Rethinks Itself

The 6th CTCV – Centro de Tecnologia e Inovação Conference in Coimbra brought together more than 400 experts to discuss one of the biggest questions in ceramics today: How do we decarbonise an industry built on heat?

Our Managing Director Thomas Alten was invited to contribute to this discussion with insights into current electrification projects, transition technologies and what “future-ready” firing really looks like on the factory floor.
