Mauro Vandini, recently appointed president of the Global Ceramic segment at Mohawk Industries, discussed the company's outlook and industry trends in a September 2024 interview on Ceramicanda. He stated that the company expected to close the year in line with the previous year's results, which he described as an excellent outcome, and noted that an order portfolio for 2025 had already been secured. Vandini also mentioned potential growth through external avenues with parent company Keda, depending on market opportunities. Regarding market conditions, Vandini said that if interest rates begin to decline, retail sales and new construction could slowly recover over a couple of years, though he anticipated no immediate turnaround within the next six to twelve months. He acknowledged significant excess capacity in the market. On innovation, Vandini emphasized continuous improvement in product and technology, citing Italy's history of raising industry standards, and noted that while many important changes had occurred, none matched the radical shift of single-firing in the 1970s. He also commented on industry adaptation to new rules, including concerns about Chinese production, and highlighted investments in digitalization and software to improve manufacturing processes.
