Propelled by a vision of smart and sustainable living for people of every age, ability, and cultural background, the Eczacıbaşı Building Products Division is gaining prominence in global design markets while maintaining its longstanding leadership in Turkey’s ceramic sanitary ware and ceramic tile markets. In pursuing this vision, the Division is supported by its multi-brand/multi-manufacturing site/multi-market growth strategy. Eight of the Division’s 13 manufacturing sites are located in major international markets, including France, where it is the majority shareholder of V&B Fliesen GmbH, the former tile division of Villeroy & Boch AG, and Germany, where it owns Burgbad AG, the leader of the European luxury bathroom furniture market.
In Russia, another major market, the Division has established two manufacturing plants for tiles and ceramic sanitary ware that are supporting its growing sales in the region.

These emerging stars are supported by multidisciplinary teams at the VitrA Innovation Center, Turkey’s first R&D center for building products, which the Division established in 2011.
International sales, which account for about two-thirds of the Division’s total sales, are supported by the Division’s marketing and sales companies in Germany, the UK, and Russia.
