The first-ever Ceramics Expo kicked off Tuesday in Cleveland, Ohio—and, importantly, it’s delivering on much-hyped promises to showcase the entire supply chain of ceramics materials and technologies. The show runs through Thursday afternoon.

Here’s a glimpse into the initial action, but watch for a full recap of the event Friday on CTT. Better yet—on site registration is still available, so come check out the show!
