Onix business model is built on the principles of circular economy, with sustainable practices integrated into every step of its production process: glass mosaic is produced from 100% recycled glass, with a water-free and waste-free production process that uses exclusively electrical energy (of which 72% from renewable sources and 40% self-generated). The result is a sustainable and 100% recyclable product.

Artá Capital will leverage its extensive experience to foster an ambitious strategic plan focused on international expansion and continuous improvement of its product range and production capacity.
