Marble and Natural Stone Extraction
From Quarry to Perfection.
Natural Stone
A natural resource that, once directly extracted from the mountain, does not require any additional processes of alloying or mixing of different materials (unlike artificial stone). Therefore, the final result is, entirely, the raw material we inherit from the Earth.
Thus, it is a true source of pride for us to integrate Mother Nature at the beginning of our value chain, working in harmony with her just as our ancient civilizations did thousands of years ago. For this reason, we give the highest priority to caring for and respecting the Environment, using the most advanced machinery and making use of technological progress, in order to ensure a Sustainable Extraction Process in both time and space.
Being able to control this first stage ourselves gives us a significant competitive advantage: guaranteeing our clients that they will receive the material they desire within the agreed timeframe. For this reason, it is a pleasure for us to welcome our clients to our quarries and facilities, so they can witness first-hand how the stone is extracted, before being delivered, with or without further processing
Extraction Result.
The stone is extracted in blocks, with no standard size. They usually measure between 2.4 to 3 meters in width, 1.4 to 2 meters in length, and 1.5 meters in depth. These are always referred to in cubic meters, and based on the dimensions mentioned, their volume can vary between 4.5 and 7 cubic meters. Blocks are not extracted in larger sizes, as they would exceed the ideal weight for proper transportation. The weight depends on the type of stone, but generally ranges between 2.6 and 3 tons per cubic meter.
There is also the possibility of pre-selecting the block size, which allows for the production of slabs in specific dimensions. This ensures a more efficient manufacturing process and helps to reduce costs for our clients
