For the ancient Greeks the word KAIROS (Καιρός - with the accent on the “o”) symbolised the right moment, the point at which something special happens.

Kairos Media Group decided to reinvent aspects of the “New” in order to preserve what was good in the “Old”, namely beauty, life, spirit, reason and humanitas.

Founded in January 2023, Kairos Media Group combined in fact the publishing operations of Tile Edizioni (ACIMAC) and Pack-Media (UCIMA): two publishing companies with a long history behind them, whose paper and digital products have been telling the story of the evolution of their respective reference markets for years.

Kairos Media Group is thus an expression of the integration process of operational and strategic integration between the Italian Automated Packaging Machinery Manufacturers’ Association and the Italian Ceramic Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers’ Association, which however maintain their separate identities. The two associations have been sharing their headquarters, organisation and services for years with the aim of improving their efficiency, presence, provision of services and political representation.
