The Natural Stone Company

What The Natural Stone Company does

Naturstenskompaniet is Sweden's largest natural stone products company, operating as the Swedish production entity of Naturstenskompaniet International AB (formerly A P Stengruppen). The company owns and operates granite quarries in northeastern Skåne and limestone quarries on Öland, with production facilities at both sites, and complements its own stone with imported varieties from Norway, Finland, Portugal, and other origins. The Öland factory carries over 100 years of production tradition, and Öland limestone itself has been used as building material for more than 1,500 years.

The product portfolio covers stone materials — granite, limestone (Ölandssten), gneiss, diabase, slate, and marble — processed into two main categories: outdoor products (slabs, cobblestone slabs, step blocks, walls, curbstones, stairs, cladding, posts) and indoor products (floors, stairs, wall cladding, countertops, window sills, fireplaces). Materials are offered in multiple surface finishes including Polished, Honed, Flamed, Bush-hammered, Brushed, and Split. The company was the first in Sweden to obtain an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) approved by EPD International, and most products are listed in Byggvarubedömningen and approved for Svanen-certified projects. Named enterprise references include NCC, Axis Communications, Nordea, Swedbank, ABBA Museum, Täby Kommunhus, Hotel NIMB, GoCo Health Innovation City, and Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum.

The business runs a B2B channel-based revenue model: products are sold through installing companies (monterande företag) and resellers (återförsäljare) rather than direct to most end customers. Private individuals are directed to email [email protected] for assistance in locating channel partners. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is headquartered in Färlöv near Kristianstad, with additional sales, production-support, and environmental offices in Öland (Löttorp), Stockholm (showroom), Varberg, Glimåkra, and Emmaboda. Legal entity is Naturstenskompaniet Sverige AB, a Swedish private limited company.

Core offering

Naturstenskompaniet quarries and processes natural stone — granite in northeastern Skåne and limestone (Ölandssten) on Öland — and supplies a complete range of outdoor and indoor stone products (slabs, cobblestones, curbstones, stairs, walls, cladding, flooring, countertops, window sills, fireplace surrounds) to construction installers, resellers, and ultimately to public, commercial, and residential projects. The portfolio also includes imported varieties (Norwegian Iddefjord granite, Finnish Kuru granite, Norwegian Oppdal slate, Portuguese and other marbles) sourced from vetted international suppliers and offered alongside the Swedish-quarried materials.

Product overview

Naturstenskompaniet is Sweden's largest natural stone company, offering a comprehensive portfolio of stone materials and processed products for both outdoor and indoor construction applications. The product range is organized around two main production divisions: Outdoor products (produced in northeastern Skåne facilities including Grå Bjärlövsgranit) and Indoor products (produced at Öland factory with Ölandssten limestone). The company extracts its own stone from quarries in Bjärlöv (granite) and Öland (limestone), while also importing select stone varieties including Norwegian Iddefjordsgranit, Finnish Kurugranit, Portuguese slate, and various marble types. The product line spans stone materials (granite, limestone, slate, marble, gneiss, diabase) in multiple surface finishes (Polished, Honed, Brushed, Sawn, Flamed, Bush-hammered, Split, Natural split) and processed into applications including slabs, cobblestones, curbstones, stairs, walls, cladding, countertops, window sills, and fireplace surrounds. Products are sold through installation companies and resellers, with the company guaranteeing highest quality through 100-year craftsmanship traditions and environmental certifications.
