Neolith

What Neolith does

Neolith (legal entity Thesize Surfaces, S.L.U., controlled by holding company International Design Surfaces Investments S.L.) is a Spain-headquartered manufacturer of large-format sintered stone surfaces, founded in 2009 and operating from Almazora in the Castellón ceramic industrial cluster. The company's core product is an engineered surfacing material produced by heating natural raw minerals at high temperatures to fuse them without binders, yielding surfaces that are nonporous, scratch-resistant, heat-resistant, lightweight, and available in thicknesses from 6mm (wall cladding and flooring) to 12mm (countertops). Neolith holds proprietary manufacturing capability in 3D printing-based through-body veining under its 'Iconic Design' collection, and the company received NYC OTCR approval for non-combustible exterior cladding as well as an early-mover low/no-crystalline-silica formulation addressing silicosis concerns.

The company sells through a hybrid model: an authorized global distributor network supplemented by company-owned flagship showrooms (Neolith Living Gallery in Madrid's Salamanca district opened September 2025, Techsize by Neolith Global Design Center in Guangzhou opened April 2026, plus Neolith Urban Boutique in Cape Town), regional distribution centers (1,800 m2 Málaga facility opened June 2024), and strategic alliances with major local distributors (Ciot in North America, Casa Diseño in Chile). Pricing is quote-based via distributors, varying by model, thickness, finish, and size. The go-to-motion is enterprise field sales with dedicated National A&D Projects Sales Managers and regional account managers targeting architects, interior designers, developers, and contractors through specification-driven engagement, CEU sessions, lunch-and-learns, and major industry events including KBIS, Salone del Mobile, Casa Decor, and regional Global/APAC/EMEA Summits.

Neolith serves multiple end-markets from a single product platform: residential projects (kitchens, bathrooms, floors, walls), commercial/contract projects (hospitality, retail, large-scale wall claddings, ventilated façades via the ARCHITECTURAL line), and adjacent uses in furniture, swimming pools, terraces, and professional sports venues. The customer base spans nearly 40 countries across Europe, North America, Oceania, Asia, Africa, Latam, the Middle East, and Greater China, with the Professional Hub digital platform providing specialized technical and certification content for the A&D community. Sustainability credentials include Cradle to Cradle Certified Bronze, EcoVadis Gold Medal (top 5% globally) for four consecutive years, 100% water recycling in manufacturing, up to 98% recycled materials in select lines, and SBTi verification of a net-zero emissions target by 2050.
