Companies History

 

Our family has been operating in the sector of extraction, processing and commercializing natural stones for four generations, a culture handed down since 1870 by tradition of expert stonemasons and quarrymen. Since the 50s we have been involved in the extraction of marble in Italy and then, starting from the 70s, in the cultivation of travertine quarries in Morocco. The winning strategy of our family is always keeping up with the time and complying promptly to market demands. Marmoelettromeccanica Company, set up in the 80s, has been dedicated to the production of diamond tools for processing marbles, granites, travertine and natural stones. Wishing to broaden its horizons also in the field of processing, KingStone was established in 2002, specialising in the production of finished products for the building industry in both marble and travertine, and in 2010 GammaStone was founded, operating in the field of lightened panels for ventilated facades.
