Piedra Paloma

What Piedra Paloma does

Piedra Paloma S.L. (legal name PIEDRAPALOMA, SLU) is a privately held Spanish natural stone company headquartered in Pedrera, Seville, that extracts, processes, and commercializes limestone from its company-owned Matagallar quarry (operating since 1925, formally acquired in 1968) and Calatorao quarry in Zaragoza. Its core product portfolio comprises four material families: Piedra Paloma white limestone (99% calcite, marketed as the world's whitest white limestone), Ambra brown-grain limestone, the Faces from Calatorao black limestone line (with sub-brands BK Kafe, BK Gold, BK Devil), and the flagship BK Genesis with distinctive horizontal red, green, and gold stripes. The company also produces home-decoration items (Stone Light, Stone Cellar, Ovum Stone, Stone Moon, Kafe Wave) and offers a wide range of finishes (polished, honed, brushed, leather, sandblasted, aqua, etc.). Production is supported by Pedrini multiwire cutting technology installed in 2023 and a 100% self-consumption solar energy plant commissioned the same year.

The company generates revenue through direct project-based sales to enterprise clients, with pricing varying by material type, finish, quantity, and specifications on a quote-only basis. Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales to architects, designers, and corporate procurement teams with event-driven exposure at international stone fairs (notably Marmomac in Verona) and CasaDecor exhibitions; high-profile fashion brand photo shoots (Zara, Nike, Álvaro Moreno) function as earned-media channels. Piedra Paloma exports to more than a dozen countries across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, serving luxury fashion brands (Dior, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Loewe, Maximo Dutti, Zenith), technology firms (Google King's Cross, London), luxury hospitality (SeaMarq Hotel Seoul, Margas Golf Hotel), healthcare (HC International Hospital Marbella), high-end residential (Villa Solitaire Mallorca, Building NY 1350), and the architecture and design community. The business is led by founder and CEO Francisco Segura Mancha, holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications from AENOR plus Global EPD and IQNET credentials, and is supported by EU/ERDF and NextGenerationEU grants for international expansion, automation, and renewable energy.
