Vitra Tiles is a subsidiary of Eczacibasi Ceramic Tiles, a Turkish tile producer. Based in Arklow, Co. Wicklow, Vitra was officially opened in September 1999. Vitra Tiles is largest ceramic tile manufacturer. Vitra has grown impressively over the last several years. Their output has risen from 93,000 m2 in 1999 to over 1.3 million m2 in 2001.

The challenge they faced was how to create easy customer access to sales staff in Arklow, information on product availability and price, technical information, and the ability to raise orders directly with the factory. They developed an eBusiness project to meet this challenge. They worked with IBM Consulting Group to develop an overall eBusiness strategy.
