Ceramic Tiles by Schwank

Ceramic tiles by Schwank for different application fields

Invented by the Schwank company founder over 85 years ago and still unique today

The world’s first gas-powered ceramic burner tile was developed and patented by Günther Schwank, the founder of the Schwank Group, in 1939. Since then Schwank has become the leading manufacturer in the field of ceramic burner tiles for commercial heating. Our goal: maximum performance and efficiency of the tile as well as a clean and low-emission combustion.

Schwank burner tiles are known worldwide. The high quality [“Made in Germany”], precision, longevity as well as the economical and extremely clean burning behaviour characterise the ceramic tiles. Our ceramic tiles are continuously tested and further developed in Schwank’s own ceramic laboratory and development department in order to achieve even better commercial heating properties. Similar to Coca-Cola, the recipe for the ceramic composition is still top secret today. Thanks to an ingenious process, even the mixing ratios of the ingredients are not completely known even to Schwank employees.

Ceramic tiles, in common with all our core products, are engineered and manufactured in Germany. We can therefore guarantee that they will exhibit the highest levels of quality, longevity and consistent efficiency for industrial and commercial heating. Thus, we can continue to guarantee that we stand out from our competitors with quality, precision and performance.
