INNOVATION

Glass-ceramic is a special material. It is extremely heat resistant, withstands sudden temperature shocks without thermal expansion and is extremely durable. It was initially intended for space applications such as mirror carriers for telescopes. But it is also suitable for civilian applications: innovative cooktops made of glass-ceramic changed the kitchens of the world forever.
Today, kitchens are the center of life. This has also increased the aesthetic and functional requirements for the modern cooktop. It must be safe and sustainable, fit into the overall concept of the kitchen or function as a design element itself - and preferably also be intelligently networked with other kitchen appliances.
Many years of research, know-how and the use of the latest technologies make SCHOTT a pioneer in the production of glass-ceramic cooktops. As a result, the international technology group not only sets new standards in the kitchen, but also in the production of the original: CERAN®.
With the constantly expanding CERAN® product family, SCHOTT is constantly redefining the possibilities of cooking – without creative and technological limitations and with the highest quality standards. For example, the scratch-resistant CERAN Miradur® coating maintains the beauty of the cooktop for longer. The light permeable glass-ceramic from the CERAN EXCITE® portfolio enables innovative and smart lighting solutions.

The maxim for each individual production step is the highest quality. This is how the original "made in Germany" is manufactured.
