Since more 50 years
sector expert
The Company was founded in 1964 by Sergio Casagranda and Delio Veneri. Ever since foundation, the Company has been careful to acquire land from private owners to ensure the necessary expansion both of the quarry and of the processing plant, and building sheds for sett and slab splitting machines and for the special machines used for cutting porphyry.
As well as mechanisation of production processes, innovation has also involved infrastructure needed to improve working conditions, including the offices and the canteen, thus favouring personal and professional development for all personnel.
The Company has grown in just a few years from a small non-mechanised business to that of an industry, with a constant effort to make porphyry known on all types of market, by promotion of the production area, participation in fairs and distribution of catalogues and folders.
Projects completed in Italy and the world are now innumerable, and the beauty and strength of the stones produced in the Company’s quarries are now well known, world-wide.
