Sicis S.r.l.

“A prestigious client, a fascinating production. I personally oversaw the sale of the latest machine installed in their Ravenna plant and, when I took my first steps inside the company, I was immediately certain I had entered a true workshop from which highly prestigious creations are born and shaped. I am proud that our technology can contribute to these wonderful achievements” this is the comment of Daniele Portoso, Sales Manager for Waterjet’s Italian market.

Sicis is a company that, thanks to the stratification of an enormous technological and know-how heritage, has been able to reinvent the art and craftsmanship of marble and of glass mosaics through an industrial production process. From raw material to installation, each phase of the process is under the direct control of the Ravenna company. One of the main strengths of the company is precisely that of having industrialised the art of mosaics through the use, often pioneering, of the most advanced production technologies and techniques.

Water cutting is part of this complex and articulated production scenario: Since 2008, the Waterjet Corporation has supplied various machines to Sicis.
The last one, the star of this successful case, was installed in February 2020. It is a Classica model and like the other machines that preceded it, it has a system with two cutting heads: this specific double-head setup serves the purpose of an exponential increase in productivity. In addition to the high level of finish of the cut, the machine is able, in fact, to ensure extremely high production standards. Sicis technicians confirm that the Waterjet machines even work over three consecutive shifts. This obviously raises the curtain on another fundamental and distinctive aspect of the Waterjet offer: the extremely high reliability of the machines.
Following the tradition of mosaic art in Ravenna, the international capital of mosaics where the most beautiful Byzantine mosaics in the world were already born in the 5th century AD, each tile that comes from production is destined for a process which will give life, thanks to a very careful design, to creations of the highest prestige to provide even greater aesthetic value to very important architectural projects: in the ceramic sector as well as in the world of glass, in order to achieve excellent quality levels, the path is to provide the best production technologies. Waterjet is part of this important family.
