TECNA, the global expo for ceramic machinery and production technology, runs from 22 to 25 September at the Rimini Expo Centre

TECNA is the biennial Rimini trade fair for ceramic production technology, held in even years and formerly known as Tecnargilla. Exhibitors are plant and machinery builders, kiln and press manufacturers, digital decoration and finishing suppliers, glaze and colour producers and chemical additive makers, covering the chain from raw material preparation through forming, firing, finishing and decoration, plus whiteware technology for sanitaryware and shower trays. The 2024 edition drew 350 exhibitors across 70,000 square metres and more than 18,000 visitors from over 100 countries, with India among the larger buyer delegations. For Morbi and other Indian manufacturers it is the main event at which capital equipment is specified and bought, and the 2026 edition adds a Decortech conference on surface decoration and finishing.
