Sicilian showcase makes welcome return to UKCW London
After a hugely successful debut in 2024, UK Construction Week (UKCW) London will once again host a contingent of high-end interiors companies from Sicily, who will be showcasing a range of products including marble surfaces, decorative paints, flooring, and windows.
The Sicilian Pavilion, which will also feature a Sicily-themed hospitality area with coffee and traditional pastries, will be home to 16 companies at the ExCeL show from May 7th to 9th, including:
- Marco Arena Design - a leading name in high-quality furniture for more than 20 years, the company is famous for its high quality ‘made in Italy’ products.
- Colorificio Atria - a leading company in the paint market, it produces high quality products for both industry and construction - ‘to colour, cover, decorate, protect and preserve any support or material in a sustainable way’. The company has 1,650 authorised dealers both in Italy and across the world.
- Settipani Srl- Settipani has been a leading company in the marble production sector since 1967.
- Romano Pavimenti - founded in 1899 by Santo Romano, who started a small artisan workshop producing cement tiles. The company is now in its fourth generation of the family, with the same passion and artisanal quality as 125 years ago.
- Cullaro Design - Originally an artisan company set up over 50 years ago, they design and produce wooden and alluminum windows and doors, with innovation, design and tradition at the heart.
A spokesperson for the Assessorato Attività Produttive di Sicilia, commented: “We have decided to exhibit at UK Construction Week because Great Britain, and London in particular, are important markets for Sicilian companies.
“Sicily has such a great reputation in interior design because products derive from an ancient tradition, handed down through several generations, and this continuing tradition maintains the high quality of the products.
“Sicilian marble is appreciated throughout the world, not only for its natural beauty, but also for its characteristics which allow it to be widely used in the building and construction sector.”
Sam Patel, Director of Global Markets at Media 10 commented:“It’s a real coup to welcome back the delegation from Sicily; their craftsmanship and unique products are a fantastic addition to UKCW, and reinforce the event’s global reach.”
