Introduction
Background of the industry
Ceramics also known as fire clay is an inorganic, non-metallic solid article, which is produced by the art or technique of heat and subsequent cooling. Ceramics is a diverse industry and contains several categories of products, including sanitary ware, refractories, cement, advanced ceramics and ceramic tiles.
Ceramic products like crockery, sanitary ware, tiles etc play a very important role in our daily life. This is because, apart from their decorative look, ceramic products are primarily hygiene products. This is also one of the chief reasons for their wide usage in bathrooms and kitchens in modern households to medical centres, laboratories, milk booths, schools, public conveniences etc.
The ceramic industry has a long history, with the first instance of functional pottery vessels being used for storing water and food, being thought to be around since 9,000 or 10,000 BC. Clay bricks were also made around the same time.
The ceramic industry has been modernising continuously, by newer innovations in product design, quality etc.

It is believed that the first clay tiles were produced seven to eight thousand years ago in the area now known as the Holy Land. Many sources independently verify that the actual known history of Tiles (and the known usage of wall and floor tile coverings) can be traced back as far as the fourth millennium BC (4000 BC) to Egypt.
In those days, in Egypt, tiles were used to decorate various houses. Clay bricks were dried beneath the sun or
