Stone Italiana

What Stone Italiana does

Stone Italiana S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of engineered mineral and porcelain surfaces headquartered in Zimella, Verona, where it operates its own production facilities. Founded in 1979 by Roberto Dalla Valle, the company develops and sells three principal product lines — Cosmolite (engineered mineral surfaces with pre-consumer recycled aggregates and plant-based resin, including 100% Recycled, Supernova, and Zero sub-lines), Kerit (large-format porcelain stoneware, 324×163 cm), and Quarzo Stone Italiana (reconstituted quartz with marble aesthetics) — together with accessories such as doors, sinks, flooring tiles, and custom fabrication services. Its proprietary Cosmolite Vacuum Vibrocompression process combines 21% plant-based resin binder with recycled minerals to produce slabs in 307×144 cm formats at 12mm and 20mm thicknesses, including a Zero formulation with under 0.01% crystalline silica using 100% pre-consumer recycled glass.

The company's commercial model is direct-to-professional: it sells through its website, downloadable catalogs and technical documentation, and request-information forms targeting architects, interior designers, stoneworkers, fabricators, contractors, and large contract projects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; buyers are routed to direct sales contact. Stone Italiana holds a stack of specification-grade certifications — GREENGUARD Gold (low VOC), NSF food-contact, ISO 14021 recycled-content self-declaration, EPD per ISO 14025, French DTA, and a published Life Cycle Assessment — which together with named projects such as Denver International Airport, Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà, Europolis Shopping Center, and Valmont Boutique Paris form the basis of its specification-driven, sustainability-positioned B2B go-to-market. The company is privately held, with €10,000,000 in fully paid share capital and no disclosed institutional investors.

Core offering

Stone Italiana manufactures and sells engineered mineral surfaces (Cosmolite, including 100% Recycled, Supernova, and Zero sub-lines), large-format porcelain stoneware slabs (Kerit), and reconstituted quartz slabs (Quarzo Stone Italiana), together with complementary doors, sinks, flooring tiles, and custom fabrication services. Products are produced at the company's plants in Verona, Italy, using a proprietary vacuum vibrocompression process and pre-consumer recycled mineral aggregates with plant-based resin binders, and are sold as finished slabs to architects, designers, fabricators, stoneworkers, and contract projects.

Product overview

Stone Italiana is an Italian manufacturer of engineered stone and porcelain surfaces founded in 1979. The product portfolio consists of three main surface technology lines: Cosmolite (engineered mineral surfaces with 100% Recycled, Supernova, and Zero sub-variants), Kerit (large-format porcelain stoneware), and Quarzo Stone Italiana (reconstituted quartz with marble appearance). All lines are manufactured at the company's plants in Verona, Italy. The portfolio also includes accessories (doors, sinks), flooring tiles, and custom fabrication services. The Cosmolite line uses vacuum vibrocompression technology with plant-based resin binders and emphasizes sustainability through recycled materials and low crystalline silica formulations.
