What Marbrasa does

Marbrasa – Mármores e Granitos is a vertically integrated Brazilian ornamental stone producer founded in 1968 by Camilo Cola and headquartered in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Espirito Santo. The company extracts granite, marble, and quartzite from five company-owned quarries located in Espirito Santo and Bahia states (Pedreiras Itagrafana, Itagaya, Itaguandu, Alto Gironda, and Itaouro) and sells proprietary stone varieties including Preto Sao Gabriel, Verde Labrador, Branco Classico, Gaya, and Venus to architects, interior designers, real estate developers, hospitality operators, and healthcare facilities globally. Marbrasa also operates Marmoraria Marbrasa, an in-house custom fabrication workshop that produces countertops, panels, flooring, stairs, and bespoke furniture with nine surface finish options. Distribution operates through direct sales, international trade show presence (Marmomac Verona, Coverings USA, Marmomac Brazil, Cachoeiro Stone Fair), multilingual digital catalogs, and a virtual showroom, reaching customers across all continents. The company is family-controlled (Andrea Cola as CEO, Piero Cola as Commercial Manager) with no institutional investors or public listing, supported by ERP infrastructure via TOTVS and a 270-hectare environmental reserve named after its founder. Revenue is generated through project-based one-time sales of extracted materials and custom fabricated pieces, with pricing quoted individually per project rather than through published price lists.
