Discover TECNA

For more than 40 years, TECNA - the successor to Tecnargilla - has been the world’s leading event for process technologies, equipment, aesthetics and design for the ceramics and brick industry.
 

Today our mission is clear: to act as the global hub connecting technology and aesthetics across the entire surfaces supply chain, building on the experience and know-how we have acquired in the ceramic sector.
We have an ambitious vision: to become the point of reference for all types of surfaces worldwide.

Our values guide every edition of the show:

• Innovation - with a constant focus on cutting-edge solutions.
• International reach - attracting exhibitors, buyers and delegations from every continent.
• Quality - with a strong emphasis on Italian manufacturing and excellence in engineering and design.

TECNA – The Global Expo for Ceramics and more – concluded its 2026 edition in Rimini after four days dedicated to innovation, technologies, materials, and new connections.

The halls of TECNA brought together process technologies, decorative solutions, innovative materials, and new strategies to tackle the challenges of manufacturing and global markets.

From artificial intelligence to process digitalisation, and from energy efficiency to cobotics and cybersecurity: TECNA placed front and centre the transformations reshaping the world of surfaces and the supply chains linked to construction, architecture, and design.

An edition filled with networking, ideas, business, and visions, featuring key industry figures from around the world ready to share solutions and insights on the future of the sector.

TECNA is organised by IEG – Italian Exhibition Group in collaboration with ACIMAC – Association of Italian Manufacturers of Machinery and Equipment for Ceramics.
