The Dutch Building Ceramics Industry has a long tradition of beautifying the Netherlands; for centuries masonry and paving bricks, ceramic roof tiles and wall and floor tiles have been used constructively and aesthetically in and around buildings to create atmospheric and safe living environments. Not only is river clay a local and renewable resource, but sustainable clay extraction in the flood plains also contributes to climate adaptation and flood protection, while creating new nature and biodiversity at the same time. At plant level the ceramic industry consists of SME companies. However, to make the region and sector future-proof, the sector faces considerable large-scale industry challenges.
