Producer of earthenware items for kitchen use in round and square shapes        

SC Cesiro SA was founded in the city of Sighişoara in 1957, as the Glass and Pottery Factory of Sighişoara. It inherited the ceramic tradition particular to the culture and spirit of Transylvania, being among the first companies in Romania in this field.
The factory was named CESIRO (Ceramics, Sighişoara, Romania) on 1 January 1991, when it began functioning as an independent unit, no longer a section of the former factory .
 In the last 15 years since privatisation, several investments have been made, amounting €15 million. Through this, modern kilns, glazing machines, isostatic presses, etc have been acquired.
All of these have lead to an increase in production from 7,000 tones in 1991 to 17,000 tones last year. Exports have risen from €3 million in 1991 to €18 million in 2010 and the number of countries where Cesiro products are sold has now reached 30. 
This wide range of products has resulted in the expansion of storage facilities to 9,000 square metres in two locations.
Cesiro recognizes that its performance could not have been achieved without the help of its employees, who number 1,289 people today.
The company’s main customers are IKEA (Sweden), SD Selection (France), Tognana (Italy), Carrefour (France), NFK (Russia), Vetro Plus, Czech Republic), Michael Fischer (Germany), Homeline (France), and many others.
To maintain its well earned position in domestic and international markets, the company’s management will continue with the refurbishment projects envisaged for the coming  years, and will also be giving more importance to employees’ working conditions and environmental protection, so that Cesiro remains a viable and profitable company, providing its customers quality products at competitive prices.
