Farewell Paco. Thank you for inspiring the generations to come.
ADEX is truly a family company with its 4th generation leading it.
Our 3rd generation leader, Mr. Francisco Garcia Felipeneri, known to friends and family as Paco, passed away on 3/9/2018 surrounded by his family. He took on the leadership and visionary position of 2 generations of family before him and saw the company enter its 121st year in the business. He was a man of heart which he poured into his family, company and industry.
Among his professional merits, Mr. Garcia was President of CEVISAMA, the International Fair for Ceramic Tiles, for 10 years. In 1993 he received the Medalla de Oro de la Villa de Onda for his contribution to the international promotion of the Spanish ceramic tile industry.
Under his direction, the company expanded from its European customer base to the North American market and established ADEX USA which has now entered its 21st year. Paco was instrumental and lead the introduction of “Art Tile” to the U.S. markets with its hand-painted tiles 35+ years ago. From that he went into what is now known as “subway tiles”. He often laughed as he said: “ADEX was in the subway tile market before there were subways”. Under his direction, he groomed his children to take over the business and continue the family legacy of ADEX. This 4th generation continues his philosophy of listening to your customer and to provide them with what they need. Paco was also beginning the mentoring process of the 5th generation which has just entered the business. His life and legacy is one which will live on through his children and their families as they fulfill the vision and dreams of the family business.
Thank you Paco…you will be dearly missed.
Inspiring mindful tile design and finishing details.
Today, interior environments have become diverse expressions of style, mood, and personality. The ability for one to evoke expression can be created through mindful tile design. The atmosphere within a design space can be enhanced by combining the unique attributes of tile. These attributes include tile designs, shapes, patterns, colors, and detailed finishing pieces.
The design intention expresses whether the tile will compliment a focal point or create one. Either way, tile plays an important role in creating the voice of an interior space.
FOCUSED ON... reducing any negative impact to the health of our environment. our commitment to help impove the health of our environment. utilizing processes that are efficient in energy and emissions.
The Health of our Environment is a Responsibility Shared.
ADEX believes the importance of keeping our environment healthy is only possible if everyone does their part in thinking and acting green. Our commitment starts with the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EQA ISO 14001). It is an integral part of the European Union’s Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). The ISO14001 is similar to the ISO9000 quality management in that both pertain to the processes of how a product is produced rather than the product itself and it should be noted, the EMAS’s structure and material requirements are more demanding, foremost concerning performance improvement, legal compliance and reporting duties. This system has enabled us to optimize our process to promote protection and prevention of the environment. We promise to continue to review and improve our efforts to reinforce our commitment to keeping the planet healthy.
