The first “European Tile Fixing Championship”was held at the international fair Cevisama in Spain 7 to 10 February 2006. This new competition in efficiency is an initiative of the Federation of European Tile Fixers’Association, the EUF, and its supporting members, i.e. outstandingly successful companies in this business.
The “European Tile Fixing Championship” closes the gap between national competitions and the world championship “worldskills”.
Tile fixing journeymen from seven member associations of the EUF presented their craft skills live in hall 2. During two and a half days, they carried out a predefined design task in front of an international audience.
A jury consisting of master companies and marketing experts
from European countries established three winners who
combined craft skills and creativity in the best possible way. On
the occasion of a press conference, the jury and the fair
director Mr Roldan awarded the following winners with the
“Bronze Tile”, the “Silver Tile”and the “Gold Tile”:
Frédéric Biaunier, France: the Gold Tile
Dario Ariano, Luxembourg : the Silver Tile
Björn Bunge, Germany: the Bronze Tile
With this championship, which will be held in 2008 for the
second time, the European tile fixing trade nails its colours to
the mast and promotes the dialogue and the co-operation with
manufacturers and trading partners.
