What Çimstone does

Çimstone (ÇİMSTONE İNŞ. MALZ. SAN. VE TİC. A.Ş.) is a privately held Turkish manufacturer of engineered quartz surfaces, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Işıkkent, Izmir, with regional sales offices in Istanbul and Ankara. The company produces engineered slabs composed of approximately 90-95% natural quartz mineral combined with polyester resin and pigments, compacted under high pressure and cured into non-porous surfaces for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, and architectural applications. Product specifications include Mohs 7 hardness, A2fl S1 fire rating, flexural strength of 40-70 N/mm², water absorption capped at 0.1%, and NSF 51 food-contact certification equivalent to stainless steel. The portfolio is organized into three named collections — Priene, Ismira, and Epiq — containing dozens of individual SKUs (e.g., 2018 Helen, 2078 Aden, 2066 Argentum, 220 Artemis), with slabs available in 1.5, 2, and 3 cm thicknesses and dimensions up to 330 cm, offered in glossy and matte finishes.

The business is structured around a direct sales motion through three Turkish offices serving residential homeowners, commercial/hospitality buyers, and a Professional channel targeting fabricators, architects, contractors, and furniture makers. Downloadable technical guides (Care & Maintenance, Installation) and contact-based inquiry flows support the professional fabricator segment. Internationally, the company operates an export distribution model reaching more than 40 countries, with the Izmir factory serving as the export coordination hub. The company maintains a presence across Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Pinterest for top-of-funnel brand awareness and publishes a Career page and Investor Relations page on its corporate site.

The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, or funding rounds, and the operating structure is independent. Çimstone celebrates its 30-year operating anniversary in 2025 and is described in source material as having achieved generic-brand status within Turkey's quartz surface category, with brand recognition extending across its 40+ country export footprint. Certifications held include NSF 51 (food contact), TSE (Turkish Standards), and CE-related compliance documented via TS EN standard testing for fire, flexural, impact, and abrasion performance.
