We

In Cerámicas Catalino we are terracota artisans. Our daily work consists of molding the terracota with our hands to give shape to our client’s creativity. We want to highlight the value of the handcrafted work we do and convince you to fill your floors with terracota in the most literal sense of the word. Are you up for it?

History

We are a family business that started in the 50’s to work the terracota. At that time there was no help from any machinery and from the time the process began by preparing the terracota mixture until the customer’s truck was loaded with the bricks or tiles, except for the kiln firing, everything was done by hand. You can imagine what it was like to load a whole truckload of bricks by hand!

Fortunately, the world evolves and we evolve with it, but the main process, the one that characterizes our work, remains the same, our way of making bricks and tiles has not changed in the last 60 years.

Now we are entering fully into the world of online sales, which even though it is a little colder than face-to-face sales in terms of personal contact, we will continue to apply the same cordial and close treatment that has allowed us to work for 60 years. So here we go, let’s see what the next 60 have in store for us!
