Star Stone

What Star Stone does

Star Stone S.A. is a privately held Romanian manufacturer of premium composite stone construction products, founded in 2007 and headquartered at its factory site in Nojorid, near Oradea. The company produces vibrocompressed paving slabs, modular fencing systems, decorative stone cladding, exposed brick, pool edging, and related accessories under multiple sub-brands (Traverstone, Roma, Athos, Arvore, Orion, Jerusalem Stone, Star Brick, Traverstone Block, Split Face, Code). Manufacturing is anchored on four proprietary process technologies — Power (quarry-aggregate formulation), Protect (3D in-mass reinforcement), Clean (in-mass waterproofing), and Real (natural-texture reproduction) — which the company positions as delivering up to 3x the resistance of cast concrete and freeze-thaw durability. Operations are certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 by TÜV Rheinland, and the company holds a 1st-place QUDAL Quality Medal (2020/2021) for Romanian concrete product manufacturers.

The business sells finished composite stone goods via three primary channels: (1) a network of 300+ authorized distributors across Romania for nationwide availability; (2) direct sales at the Nojorid factory showroom and a Bucharest showroom; and (3) DIY retail networks accessed through distribution partners. Pricing is quote-based for most SKUs, with publicly disclosed prices around 135–150 RON/sqm for standard paving slabs and volume discounts up to approximately 30% for developer/distributor orders of 450+ sqm. Customer segments are residential homeowners (primary), developers and authorized distributors (bulk B2B), and DIY/retail consumers. The company does not disclose revenue and operates with 51–100 employees; in 2023 it secured Romanian PNRR co-financing for a 0.4 MW on-site solar PV system, completed in September 2025 to cover approximately 56% of its electricity needs.
