What Stone Shippers does

Stone Shippers is a privately held Indian natural stone manufacturer and exporter founded in 1986 and headquartered in Mumbai, India. The company manufactures and exports Indian sandstone products — including paving, walling, driveways, and accessories — for both B2B customers (architects, landscaping companies) and B2C customers globally, with established relationships in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Ireland, Denmark, and Belgium.

Its core technology centers on advanced CNC machinery, including 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machines, multi-blade block cutters, 12-head brushing machines, and water blast equipment, which together enable custom cutting of the hardest quartzitic sandstone with finishes ranging from flamed and diamond brushed to traditional natural split. The company operates five factories spread across approximately 250,000 square meters of manufacturing space in North India (Rajasthan) and South India (Andhra Pradesh), with direct access to over 250 quarries. This vertical integration supports an annual processing capacity of roughly 2 million square meters of quartzitic sandstone for hard landscaping.

The business model is one-time product sales of natural stone materials, priced without publicly disclosed tiers, distributed through direct B2B sales to architects and landscaping enterprises and direct B2C sales to individual consumers worldwide. The company employs over 300 people and reports no public listing, no disclosed institutional investors, and no parent company. Featured commercial projects include supply work for the Bihar Museum, Patna (with Maki & Associates/OPOLIS), and named customer relationships include Opolis Architects, Pooja Shah Architects, and Mancini Enterprises.
