How we design, manufacture, collaborate, and grow.
Designing with Purpose. Innovating with Intention.
At Portobello America, design is never random. It is a strategic objective.
A reflection of people, culture, and the times we live in.
To stay ahead and remain relevant, we do not just follow trends. We seek to understand why they emerge and where they come from. That is the essence of the Portobello Open Innovation Cycle: our structured response to a fast-changing world.

Our 200 meter long ceramic roller kiln is the same length as two soccer pitches. This area is where the tiles are fired and it is never turned off. This kiln runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That constant precision is what gives architects and designers the consistency every specification depends on.
Our three presses have a capacity of 6,500 tons each. 6,500 tons is ¼ of the weight of the Statue of Liberty , and 90 tons more than the A380, the largest and heaviest passenger aircraft in the world. That scale gives us the precision and flexibility most tile makers can't match.
This is the largest spray dryer in North America. As with all the machinery and equipment you see today, our investment in the finest machinery means Portobello America is geared for large-scale production. Batch after batch, without ever compromising finish.
The warehouse has a massive footprint of 250,000-square-foot. Portobello America can store over 12 million square feet of inventory in our high density racking. Ready to deliver the moment your project calls for it.
