Sichenia invests in the technical innovation of Breton. The main goal is to increase the productive standards that since more than 50 years are distinguishing the brand.
The investment concerns a brand new line for dry cutting and squaring of porcelain material that will be installed in the facility of Sassuolo.
Sichenia, with a strong culture and commitment towards research & development, has chosen the innovative dry squaring technology proposed by Breton named Ghibli.

What are the main features of this new component?
- High precision in squaring and rectifying tiles and slabs
- Perfect alignment thanks to independent axis system
- No operator needed thanks to automated laser tool measurement system
- High removal capacity thanks to the high processing speed (5000 rpm)
- Synchronized belts with no talcum powder nor other lubrificants needed
- New architecture for squaring and rectifying tiles and slabs with up to 12 calibrating spindles
- Less waste thanks to high precision process
- Cleaner process thanks to high removable fine waste powder
What is a rectified tile?
The tile rectifying process is a process of grinding the edges of fired tiles to allow for butt jointed installation; thus the grout lines are barely visible granting a uniform smoothness effect.
The slabs will be perfectly identical both in size and thickness. In this way it is possible to lay the tiles with almost imperceptible joints, up to a minimum of 2mm, creating an effect of continuity, elegance and a great aesthetic impact.
