Simpolo Vitrified Pvt Ltd and Nexion International Pvt Ltd are a part of the Simpolo Group.
 
 
"In 2015, we partnered with the Simpolo promoters with the shared vision of creating an Italian company in India," Luca Majocchi, CEO of Nexion, said, "As India's economy and society continue to develop, we expect the luxury tiles market in India to grow exponentially."
