LSI Stone

What LSI Stone does

LSI Stone Lda is a Portuguese natural stone company founded in 1999 by Regina Vitório (CEO) and Pedro Vazão (COO) under the original name INOVOPEDRA. The company extracts, transforms, and supplies natural stone — primarily high-purity limestone from Portugal's Estremadura quarries, alongside marble and granite sourced from a global quarry network — for exterior and interior architectural applications. Operations are anchored by a factory in Pedreiras, Leiria, equipped with advanced stone-cutting and finishing machinery and an integrated management system, supported by ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications and Ethical Stone Register membership.

The company's commercial offering spans physical stone products (including the proprietary Luminati/Estremoz Lagoa marble used for translucent facades), a BIM library of natural stone models, an Augmented Reality mobile app for product visualization, and consulting services for architects, designers, and engineers. Trophy project deliveries such as the 12,000 sqm translucent marble facade of the Perelman Performing Arts Center in New York (completed 2023, designed by REX Architecture) demonstrate specification-grade capability.

LSI Stone generates revenue through project-based custom pricing with multi-year contracts, selling direct to enterprise clients via regional sales offices in Lisbon, London, and Miami. The business model targets architects, designers, and engineers on complex international projects and has been supported by over €6M in EU FEDER co-financing across multiple Portugal 2020/COMPETE2030 programs since 2017, plus participation in the €55.76M Agenda Sustainable Stone by Portugal consortium (€2.08M committed investment).
