Description Ceramics maker Deutsche Steinzeug Cremer & Breuer makes ceramic covering materials (tiles for walls, floors, facades, and specialty applications such as swimming pools) through several subsidiaries and affiliates. Brands include Agrob Buchtal, Jasba, Meissen Fliesen, Wessel Keramik, and Medea Ceramica. The company also makes Hydrotect, a hydrophylic surface coating that is burned into the tiles to improve hygiene and cleanliness. Deutsche Steinzeug traces its roots to Deutsche Steinzeug-Warenfabrik (founded in 1890) and Cremer & Breuer (founded in 1906), both makers of clay sewer construction products, who had by 1926 joined forces.
