ABOUT US

About Cerami, Inc.

Cerami, Inc. was established in 1983 as a Bay Area purveyor of high-end ceramic, stone, and glass tile. Our corporate location in San Rafael, CA includes a 17,500 SF facility and warehouse for stocking and distribution of an extensive line of green products, tile, stone, and tile materials. Our intention is to offer unique and cutting edge products, helping our clients to set themselves apart from the competition.

We have supplied products to hundreds of Kitchen and Bath dealers, fabricators, green home centers, and retail tile showrooms. Cerami, Inc. has representatives dedicated to providing you and your staff with training sessions, marketing tools, samples, customer service, and the lowest industry pricing available.

In 2001 we began to emphasize exclusive relationships with factories manufacturing custom products. We ramped up our imports from Italy, working with prestigious factories producing the best quality porcelain, stone and glass products. With growing inventories, we began supplying Tile and “Green” showrooms throughout the greater Bay area. In 2004 we invested in inventory with the newly emerging IceStone Durable Surfaces. Cerami, Inc. soon became the leading distributor for IceStone in the US. Since then we’ve become one of the largest promoters and distributors of green products in Northern California.
