A completely different story, our story.
An itinerary of flair and passion
from 1874.
Only the best of Made in Italy ceramics.
Cooperativa Ceramica d'Imola.
An extraordinary, fascinating and unique story for the oldest Production and Work Cooperative in Italy, founded in 1874 in Imola. A model focused around the central position of the factory and its people, and which, during the early decades of the 20th century, saw a genuine industrialisation process being triggered. The contamination of know-how and continuous research has led the company, in modern times, to become a dynamic industrial pole and benchmark for quality ceramics. Cooperativa Ceramica d’ Imola is today a worldwide symbol of italian quality and style and a global sector player. It is present on the market with the following trademarks: Imola, LaFaenza e Leonardo.
150 YEARS CELEBRATION.
A SYMBOL OF PAST AND FUTURE.
In the year of our 150th anniversary the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy presented a stamp, issued by Poste Italiane, dedicated to Cooperativa Ceramica d’Imola, as part of a special collection dedicated to the Italian entrepreneurship, named “Excellence of the productive and economic system”. The graphic project, designed by studio FM milano, depicts a stylised and symbolic image of the company, which is a connection between the past and the future: a visual combination of the long lasting ceramic tradition with some contemporary elements, conveying the identity of a constantly evolving industry which is a benchmark company at the same time.
Cersaie 2024 has been the perfect opportunity to share the great results achieved so far and to set the future ones, but also gave us the invaluable chance to connect in person at our HQ.
An extraordinary journey, full of surprises, special people and encounters, looking together to the future that is coming.
See you in the next century!

Our goals.
In the early 90s Cooperativa Ceramica d’Imola became a leading company in the sector and a benchmark for innovative, fine quality ceramics. The goals achieved in tis period pushed the company to embark on new developments, including the construction of a new central complex symbolising the company’s combination of tradition and innovation, and the takeover of two new companies: I.C.F. in 1991 (now part of the LaFaenza Brand) and Leonardo 1502 in 1993 (that operates under the brand name Leonardo).
