Cerami

Cerami, Inc. was established in 1983 as a Bay Area purveyor of high-end ceramic, stone, and glass tile. Our corporate location in San Rafael, CA includes a 17,500 SF facility and warehouse for stocking and distribution of an extensive line of green products, tile, stone, and tile materials. Our intention is to offer unique and cutting edge products, helping our clients to set themselves apart from the competition. We have supplied products to hundreds of Kitchen and Bath dealers, fabricators, green home centers, and retail tile showrooms. Cerami, Inc. has representatives dedicated to providing you and your staff with training sessions, marketing tools, samples, customer service, and the lowest industry pricing available. In 2001 we began to emphasize exclusive relationships with factories manufacturing custom products. We ramped up our imports from Italy, working with prestigious factories producing the best quality porcelain, stone and glass products. With growing inventories, we began supplying Tile and "Green" showrooms throughout the greater Bay area. In 2004 we invested in inventory with the newly emerging IceStone Durable Surfaces. Cerami, Inc. soon became the leading distributor for IceStone in the US. Since then we've become one of the largest promoters and distributors of green products in Northern California. After growing up in Southern California, Ryan Bloom studied Architecture and got his degree in Landscape Architecture at Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo. Post-graduation he moved to San Francisco to work for Landscape Management firms focusing on design/build and maintenance. His 'green' knowledge and interest grew as the green industry grew, and that is what brought him to Cerami, Inc. to manage the Northern California sales, operations, and distribution of IceStone Durable Surfaces, Squak Mountain Stone, Trinity Glass Products, and PaperStone. Ryan continues to grow the presence and use of these 'Best In Class' green counter-tops. Karen Okner has been creating artful living spaces for corporate and private customers for over two decades. With a degree in Applied Art and Design from Cal Poly State University, Karen's career has encompassed many facets of the art and design world, from gallery management to all aspects of design, fabrication and installation of natural stone and decorative tile. Karen began her professional career as a gallery manager and art consultant in the Carmel and SF Bay areas, eventually transitioning into real estate project management. Her real estate experience led her to the stone business where she held sales and marketing positions. Karen looks forward to providing her clients at Cerami, Inc. with creative solutions that will endure the test of time.
