• In step with the latest kitchen trend, CERAN® induction cooktops are now available with a high-quality matte black coating.
• The elegant, easy-care surface with a sharp, detailed view of the controls also minimizes the visibility of scratches.
• Leading home appliance manufacturers plan to launch matte cooktops in spring 2025.
With the CERAN® matte line from SCHOTT, high-quality glass-ceramic cooktop panels now feature a matte look, offering understated elegance, soft transitions, and calming presence in the kitchen. The innovative coating gives the classic black CERAN® glass-ceramic cooktop panels a sophisticated matte finish with a unique feel perfectly aligned with the latest kitchen design trends. At the same time, the cooktop’s user interface displays controls and cooking information with crisp, sharp clarity. "With the CERAN® matte line, we offer design enthusiasts a cooktop that impresses not only with its elegant matte appearance, but also with its outstanding functional properties. The surface is easy to clean and reduces the visibility of scratches up to five times more effectively than conventional CERAN® glass-ceramic," explains Dr. Jörn Besinger, Head of Product Management and New Business Development at SCHOTT CERAN®. After generating a great deal of excitement at the A30 Küchenmeile (MOW) in the fall of 2024, leading home appliance brands such as Bosch, Siemens, NEFF and BORA plan to launch the new SCHOTT CERAN® cooktop in the spring of 2025. To that end, the international technology group today started series production in Mainz, Germany. "This trend will catch on incredibly quickly,” predicts Marco Tümmler, Managing Director of Gaggenau Hausgeräte & NEFF Hausgeräte. “I expect that in three to five years we will see almost exclusively matte cooktops."
Multiple award winner
With the CERAN® matte line, SCHOTT sets new standards in kitchen design, offering an innovative solution for those who value design, quality, and sustainability. Its impact has been recognized with the Innovation Award for Brand Quality from the international Plus X Award jury in November 2024. Consumers also voted for it in a representative survey, awarding it the 2025 Kitchen Innovation of the Year in February 2025
Once again, CERAN® has proven its innovative spirit, which has long been recognized by leading home appliance manufacturers: For more than 50 years, SCHOTT CERAN® has been the black glass-ceramic cooktop in millions of kitchens worldwide.
Developed exclusively in Germany, CERAN® cooktops always bear the SCHOTT CERAN® logo and are therefore easily identifiable as original CERAN® cooktops. Conventional CERAN® glass-ceramic is compatible with all common types of heating and can be used with induction, electric, or gas hobs.
CERAN® is a registered trademark of SCHOTT AG.
