Lundhs As

What Lundhs As does

Lundhs AS is a privately held Norwegian natural-stone producer founded in 1962 in Larvik by Thor Lundh. The company extracts Larvikite and Anorthosite from eight ISO 14001-certified quarries in the Larvik region and Sirevåg, with annual extraction of approximately 1,500,000 tonnes and roughly 200,000 tonnes exported internationally. The geological formation of these stones is unique to Norway, giving Lundhs an effective monopoly on supply of these materials; Larvikite was designated Norway's national stone in 2008 by the International Union of Geological Sciences.

Lundhs operates a dual-channel commercial model. For architects, designers, and building professionals across Europe, the USA, and the Middle East, sample ordering and product discovery are routed through the Material Bank marketplace and direct sales for Norway, Asia, and MENA. The seven branded stone variants (Lundhs Emerald®, Blue®, Royal®, Ocean®, Marina®, Grey™, and Antique®) are sold as raw blocks to fabricators and as finished tiles, countertops, facades, and architectural elements for specified projects. Notable specifications include the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget) Anna Rogstad statue, the Sommerro House hotel renovation in Oslo, the Finchley Road load-bearing exoskeleton in London (world's first 10-story fully load-bearing natural stone building, achieving 80% embodied-carbon reduction), and the Kew Gardens Carbon Pavilion. A D2C e-commerce storefront at shop.lundhsrealstone.com sells tiles, washbasins (NOK 9,423-10,430), interior accessories, and samples directly to Norwegian consumers via Klarna Checkout.

The company has expanded into adjacent categories through strategic design collaborations with Tom Wood (The Cove Collection, June 2025), Hunting & Narud (The Laft Table, June 2025), Kaja Dahl (Larvik Vase, November 2023), Jenkins & Uhnger, and Vera & Kyte, monetizing surplus material as premium lifestyle products. In March 2026 Lundhs established Lundhs Aggregates AS to commercialize crushed stone and gravel byproducts, advancing the company's stated 100% resource utilization goal. The silica-free mineral composition of Larvikite and Anorthosite is positioned as a safety and regulatory advantage over quartz-containing engineered stone. Leadership: founder Thor Lundh (deceased January 2026), Chairman Thor-Anders Lundh Håkestad, CEO Frank Nordby.

Direct peers

• Antolini Luigi: Italian family-owned natural stone producer with global distribution of marble, granite, onyx, and exotic stones for residential and architectural use. Closest European analog to Lundhs in brand-led natural stone positioning and design collaborations.
• Levantina y Asociados: Spanish multinational operating one of the world's largest quarries (Crema Marfil marble) and producing finished natural stone products. Comparable vertically integrated quarry-to-surface model serving global architecture and construction markets.
• R.E.D. Graniti: Italian dimension stone group extracting and processing marble and granite from owned quarries for architectural projects worldwide. Comparable European natural stone producer with project-focused B2B sales model.
• Polycor: North American quarrier and manufacturer of natural stone (granite, marble, limestone) for architectural and monument applications. Most comparable peer to Lundhs in business model—quarry-to-finished-product vertical integration in natural dimension stone.

Emerging players

• Lapitec: Italian producer of sintered stone slabs for countertops and facades. Competes with Lundhs in premium architectural surfaces via an engineered alternative, similar positioning battle to Lundhs vs. quartz incumbents.
• Vermont Quarries: US-based quarry operator of premium dimensional stone (Danby marble). Smaller-scale but comparable model of single-quarry premium natural stone extraction and processing for architectural surfaces.

Broad incumbents

• Cosentino: Spanish global leader in engineered stone surfaces (Silestone quartz, Dekton sintered stone) for countertops and facades. Competes with Lundhs in premium countertops but offers engineered, non-natural products—directly addressing the silica-safety counter-positioning Lundhs occupies.
• Caesarstone: Israel-based pioneer of quartz surfaces, now expanding into natural stone and porcelain. Competes in premium kitchen/bath countertops with global distribution; the silica-free angle is a key competitive wedge for Lundhs against Caesarstone's quartz core.
