Mariwasa upgrades plant line, unveils new products

MANILA, Philippines — Leading ceramic tiles maker Mariwasa Siam Ceramics Inc. is upgrading its manufacturing line and expanding its product lineup to cater to the growing demand in the local market.

The joint venture between Thai conglomerate SCG and Mariwasa Manufacturing Inc. has created Mariwasa 4.0 to showcase its new set of products that embody “digital innovation and connectivity” that were made from a new trend of “automation and technology” to satisfy and surpass their customers’ expectations, its top executive said.

Mariwasa president Jakkrit Suwansilp said the company launched 106 new tile designs during the recent Philippine World Building and Construction Exposition(WORLDBEX)  at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

These designs were inspired by three different concepts – Revitality, Technique and Wanderwall – that Mariwasa’s designers created as they explored different places in the country and abroad to discover new ideas and trends, with an influence of contemporary features to incorporate in their tiles.

Revitality tiles exhibit timeless designs with relaxing and therapeutic touch, Technique tiles give off a mix of cultural vibe and modern feeling, while Wanderwall tiles display an elegant ambiance that offer a more luxurious look.

The company’s latest innovation is the R11 stone effect, an innovated Mariwasa tile that features a glossy surface but has an anti-slip function. 

Mariwasa will also be launching its newest product addition, the Mariwasa Sanitary Wares, that will let Filipino homeowners decide to choose practical and affordable yet stylish and high-quality home products.

“As a solution provider, we thought of bringing Mariwasa Sanitary Wares beyond our product portfolio. Our inspiration is to provide Filipino customers bathroom solutions with more practical choices that do not compromise quality and style,” said Suwansilp.
