Spanish bathroom brand Acquabella has launched Europe’s largest shower tray production line, according to Spanish media reports. The new production line covers an area of 7,500 square metres and is dedicated to the manufacture of shower trays made of artificial stone.

With this expansion, Acquabella’s two lines have increased their production capacity by 150% 从 240,000 到 600,000 shower trays per year.

The new lines are based on an RFID management system with powerful technical features that streamline the production process and allow for full order tracking throughout the production process. 2019 consolidated revenues for the company amount to €28.27 million and 187 雇员.
