The roofing industry is entering a new era with the introduction of the European brand swissporTON, which replaces the previously respected CREATON brand for tiles manufactured by CREATON Polska and CREATON South-East Europe. This strategic change marks the incorporation of a 130-year tradition in tile manufacturing into the portfolio of the swisspor Group - Europe's leading manufacturer of high-quality , energy-efficient building materials.
The swisspor Group, known for its innovative solutions in thermal insulation, acoustic insulation and façade systems, is introducing swissporTON as one of the key elements of its comprehensive offering for energy-efficient construction. The brand retains the best of the CREATON heritage, now combining Swiss quality, design and durability. Its pitched roof products combine with swisspor Group solutions to create a comprehensive, efficient and sustainable system for modern construction from a single supplier.
Comprehensive product portfolio
The swissporTON portfolio includes a wide range of ceramic and cement roof tiles, along with dedicated accessories (including membranes, functional systems, photovoltaics, and roof straps) designed to meet the needs of modern architecture and the expectations of today's builders and industry professionals.
The flagship ceramic models include five carefully selected solutions: SIMPLA®, KODA®, TITANIA®, BALANCE® and RAPIDO®. The portfolio is complemented by KLASSIK Lenti and HORTOBÁGY (formerly PROFIL) ceramic plain tiles, which are perfect for projects reminiscent of traditional European architecture.
The portfolio of swissporTON cement tiles is represented by four proven models: KAPSTADT®, KIOTO®, GÖTEBORG® and BREMA® (formerly HEIDELBERG). Each offers optimum technical performance at an attractive value for money, making them an ideal choice for projects with varying budget requirements.

Manufacturing excellence based on natural resources
All swissporTON tiles are manufactured at five modern plants strategically located in Poland (Olkusz, Chojnice, Wiisewo) and Hungary (Lenti I, Lenti II). This location is due to access to some of the best clay deposits on the continent, which is the foundation for the exceptional quality of the manufactured products.
The plants use advanced production technologies and multi-stage quality control processes that meet rigorous European standards. Tiles undergo detailed testing to ensure long-term reliability and aesthetics over decades of use.
This is confirmed by (granted under certain conditions) one of the longest warranties on the market - up to 50 years in terms of impermeability and frost resistance for swissporTON clay roof tiles.
Strategic positioning within the swisspor Group
The change from CREATON to swissporTON is a deliberate strategic decision to optimally position the brand in the international market and within the swisspor family. The new name better reflects the innovative nature of the products and the openness to modern technological solutions, while signaling the affiliation with the swisspor Group.
For customers, this means a continuation of the highest quality standards developed by CREATON Polska's nearly 30 years of manufacturing experience, while at the same time having access to a wider range of innovative solutions from the impressive swisspor portfolio - from foundations to roof.
This synergistic offering allows for the realization of buildings with the highest energy standards, where every element is designed within a coherent philosophy of energy-efficient construction. The variety of solutions makes it possible to realize the most demanding architectural concepts while maintaining optimal technical performance.
Development perspective
swissporTON represents the future of energy-efficient construction, combining traditional ceramic craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technologies. The brand responds to the needs of modern architecture and the growing requirements for energy efficiency in buildings.
Each swissporTON tile is a guarantee that the roof will become a functional, durable and energy-efficient showcase for the home for decades. It's an investment in quality that translates into owner satisfaction, lower building operating costs and increased property value.
The swissporTON brand opens a new era of construction, where tradition meets innovation, quality interacts with modern design, and ceramic and cement roof tiles become an integral part of an energy-efficient home.
