Ceramicx Hosts Successful NIBE Intergroup Open Day

Last week, Ceramicx proudly hosted representatives from several of our NIBE Group sister companies as part of an engaging and insightful Intergroup Open Day. The event marked a valuable opportunity to strengthen our relationships across the wider NIBE family and deepen collaboration with our European counterparts in the industrial heating sector.

A Day of Learning, Sharing & Future Planning

The visiting teams spent a full day at our factory, where they were given a comprehensive overview of Ceramicx’s operations, infrared heating capabilities, and bespoke solutions.

The agenda included a hands-on look at our infrared heating elements, a guided tour of our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, and multiple opportunities for in-depth discussion on future collaboration.

Key Presentations & Guest Speakers

Mattias Örtenblad and Ton Ippel attended the day on behalf of NIBE, and shared background on Ceramicx’s acquisition by the NIBE Group and discussed how the company fits into NIBE’s broader strategy of innovation, sustainability, and synergy across sectors.

Managing Director Paddy Martin offered a warm welcome and delivered an introductory presentation outlining Ceramicx’s history, product offering, and future outlook.

Our Production, Design, and Engineering Managers led guests through a detailed factory tour—covering ceramic production, quartz and engineering, tooling, testing, and packing. The complete manufacturing process was on full display, allowing our visitors to observe, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of both our standard products and capabilities for non-standard or custom-built solutions.

In the afternoon, Technical Sales Manager Tadhg Whooley presented a wide range of infrared heating applications that have been successfully delivered by Ceramicx across multiple industries. He also highlighted how we address custom heating requirements, supporting our clients with solutions tailored to unique and often complex project needs.

A Step Forward Together

The event was more than just a company visit—it was a significant step toward building stronger ties and driving mutual success across the NIBE ecosystem. As a trusted partner to many of the companies present, Ceramicx looks forward to continued collaboration and shared growth in the months and years ahead.

“It was very important for us to have our colleagues from NIBE Element finally visit the Ceramicx factory. Whilst the weather was unfortunately very wet and we were unable to showcase our fabulous location in beautiful West Cork, we were able to present our purpose-built factory to our colleagues and demonstrate the products and services that we can provide. 

Working and developing relationships with all our intergroup partners is of vital importance if we are to extend our reach for both the supply of products and infrared heating solutions throughout the group and beyond.”— Paddy Martin, Managing Director, Ceramicx
