This editor’s note highlights the key facts and market implications behind “Jianyi Global First Launch of Extra-Large Marble”, with emphasis on sourcing, product fit, fabrication, logistics, or buyer impact.
On June 27, Jianyi Ceramics, the pioneer of marble tiles in China, held a special new product launch at the Guangdong Marble Tile Engineering Technology R&D Center. At the event, Jianyi Marble Tiles Chairman Li Zhilin announced, "The Jianyi large-format marble tiles, originally designed by Jianyi and manufactured in Italy, are now available for global sale. They can be experienced and purchased at 518 authorized stores nationwide, with a unified transparent pricing both online and offline."
“Chinese Design” + “Italian Manufacturing”: A Powerful Collaboration
According to the introduction, the newly launched large-format marble tiles come in two sizes: 810mm × 1620mm and 1620mm × 3240mm. The products were originally designed by Jianyi and manufactured by LAMINAM, the world's first large-format tile producer based in Italy. Li Zhilin stated that since Jianyi first introduced the concept of marble tiles in 2009, every product has been an original design, making the company a leader in high-end marble tiles in China. LAMINAM is the earliest, largest, most specialized, and most high-end large-format tile manufacturer in the world. The newly launched products combine Chinese market demands with Italian elements. "These two large-format products, designed by Jianyi and manufactured in Italy, represent a strong collaboration between China and Italy."
Jianyi Marble Tiles Chief Designer Stefano Trovato introduced that the large-format products can achieve innovative applications across all aspects of architecture, including exterior walls, floors, walls, countertops, and kitchen surfaces. "They truly enable seamless installation in various applications, with high scientific content and aesthetic value. They are easy to install and can more flexibly express the concept of 'minimalism,' representing the trends in international space design."
Luca Bottazzi, Regional Market Director of LAMINAM, said, "Jianyi is the most design-oriented ceramic brand in China. The common goal of LAMINAM and Jianyi's collaboration is to enhance the value of architecture. The future demand in the ceramic market is for larger, lighter, and more eco-friendly products. The Jianyi large-format tiles created through our partnership will use the strongest creativity to realize design value and improve renovation quality and value."
Meeting Market Demand, Targeting the Global High-End Market
It is understood that with the expansion of residential spaces and the upgrade of renovation consumption, large-format tiles are increasingly favored by consumers. The trend of "no large-format tiles, no brand" is sweeping the globe, and large-format tiles are becoming a new favorite in Chinese home fashion. The Jianyi large-format marble tiles come in five sizes and four main color series—white, beige, gray, and brown—truly achieving practical and convenient size combinations.
Huang Yan, Deputy General Manager of Hong Kong China Travel Hotel Co., Ltd., stated, "The emergence of Jianyi marble tiles provides more options for high-end renovations. After long-term observation and evaluation of Jianyi products, the Hong Kong China Travel Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Jianyi last year. Currently, projects in South China, North China, and Central China have all commenced. In the future, Jianyi marble tiles perfectly interpret the concept of high-end space design. We hope to promote high-end hotel design and related industry development, providing better products for high-end hotels globally." Li Zhilin also noted that as the pioneering brand of marble tiles, Jianyi has always positioned itself in the high-end market and maintained an industry-leading position in tile sizes. "The biggest advantage of large-format marble tiles is the ability to achieve seamless installation, creating a grand effect that highlights the value of architecture. At the same time, 'Chinese originality' is one of the core competitive strengths of Jianyi large-format marble tiles. This collaboration with an Italian company is also Jianyi's self-assessment of its design and R&D capabilities, as well as an important part of Jianyi's international development strategy."
