What Stone does
Stone nv is a Belgian private limited company, founded in 1923 and headquartered at Grote Steenweg 13 in Olsene, Belgium, that produces, imports, and globally trades natural stone, terrazzo, and ceramic building materials. Its core technology is the in-house Olsene atelier, where natural stone, ceramic, and terrazzo are processed and custom-fabricated using advanced machinery, supplemented by exclusive extraction rights for rare Brazilian quartzite flagstones (Albino Yellow, Albino White, Flamingo) and a proprietary reclaimed-cobblestone recovery line that runs on 100% solar energy with recycled process water. The product portfolio is organized into three pillars — natural stone (limestone, marble, slate, quartzite, sandstone, granite, travertine, flagstones, reclaimed cobblestones), terrazzo under the Bomarbre sub-brand (Classic, XXL, Compact, Marmer-resine, Kwarts-resine collections), and ceramics (proprietary Origin limestone-look porcelain alongside distributed brands such as Aleluia, Coem Fioranese, Imola, Margres, Pamesa, Seranit, Stargres, Ascale, and Zelliges) — with an Atelier services add-on for bespoke kitchen worktops, bathroom furniture, stairs, and wall cladding.
The company serves a dual B2B/B2C customer base: enterprise architects, project developers, and contractors (with named references at YUST, Ambiez Hotel, Antwerp Tower, Hong Kong University, ZNA Cadix, Loyens & Loeff, and Norman Foster's Ocean View Terminal) plus private homeowners and specialist tradespeople. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales anchored by an appointment-only showroom in Olsene where material specialists (Eline and Pauline) conduct tactile consultations and dispense free samples; the website supports top-of-funnel content in Dutch, French, English, and German. Revenue mechanics are one-time project sales on a quote-based model (no public price list), with international sourcing from Brazil, Europe, and Asia and project delivery spanning Western Europe, East Asia, and Eastern Europe.
