the history of anfora Founded in 1920 in Mexico City shortly after the end of World War 1 and at the end of the Mexican Revolution, Anfora began operation with a single mixer and firewood bell kilns. The company focused its manufacturing capacity on ceramic products for the hotel and restaurant market. Over the years the company became known in Mexico for the quality of its products, thanks mainly to expertise of German technicians who transmitted their know-how to Mexican foreman and workers. From the very beginning Anfora had a great advantage of quality raw materials. While other manufacturers imported most of their raw materials, Anfora developed a body type with excellent quality and a low cost. The technology used in the fabrications and designs, as well as its service, allowed Anfora to become the leader in the Mexican ceramic industry. During the second World War, the Mexican government took over the company s management since the greater part of it s shareholders were of German origin. Five years later, the government returned control to its owners who faced the difficult task of restructuring the company. From then on, Anfora became the leading vitroporcelain manufacturer in Mexico. In the segment of home use dinnerware, Anfora s designs quickly became the best known and most loved. In 1946, Anfora started a sanitaryware line which has evolved constantly to perform as one of the top rated flushing systems in North America.
the history of anfora anfora Coming from a closed economy, Mexico opened its borders to low end chinese imports in 1987, which put the Mexican ceramic industry into a tailspin. From 9 large scale-ceramic manufacturers only Anfora survived, thanks to a major reorganization which included closing the old Mexico City factory and moving to what then became the largest porcelain factory in North America, Anfora s Pachuca facility. Anfora turned its entire production know-how to vitroporcelain and modernized the production process to improving quality. Today, German isostatic pressing technolgies and a motivated team of highly qualified workers are focusing in three main areas according to Anfora s corporate mission: service, design and quality. Anfora has continued to improve its upward trend in optimizing customer service, as well as to develop a successful export line with our distribution partners, Steelite International. Today with more than 600 employees and 1.2 million square feet of modern production facilities Anfora continues to renovate itself through technology and innovative designs to satisfy our customers. 5
