6 advantages of choosing a stone supplier with its own quarries

If you are looking for a natural stone supplier, one of the most strategic aspects is to work with companies that own quarries. This is a competitive advantage that guarantees you superior material quality and offers you many economic and operational advantages.

In the world of construction and design, the choice of natural stone plays a crucial role in the quality and aesthetics of a project. For this reason, relying on a supplier with its own quarries offers a number of unique advantages that go beyond simply supplying the material. This integrated approach allows for process optimisation, quality assurance and tailor-made solutions at favourable economic conditions. But what exactly are the benefits of this choice?

1. Quality control and stone selection

If the natural stone supplier is also the owner of the quarries from which the rocks are extracted, he has the power to monitor the entire extraction process, carefully selecting only the best stone blocks. This translates into greater security for you and your customer, as the quality of the raw material is constantly guaranteed; and the possibility to intervene directly in the quarry makes it possible to avoid defects or imperfections, offering a homogenous and high-quality product.

2. Optimised availability and timing

If the supplier of the material for your projects has their own quarries, they also have immediate access to the raw material, reducing waiting times and ensuring constant availability. This is especially useful for those orders that require great continuity or specific materials in a short time frame. Not having to depend on third parties also means avoiding interruptions in the supply chain, which is crucial for meeting delivery deadlines.

3. Customisation and flexibility

Those who have direct quarry management have a greater competitive advantage because they can offer a wide range of stones, responding specifically to the needs and tastes of the individual customer. This means that if you turn to a direct supplier of natural stone, you can benefit from greater flexibility in the choice of sizes and customised cuts. This is an added value for architects and designers looking for unique aesthetic and technical solutions.

4. Competitive prices

Eliminating middlemen often results in significant cost savings. A supplier with its own quarries can offer more competitive prices than a third-party supplier, while still maintaining high quality standards and a shorter supply chain. This economic advantage is particularly attractive for those who need large quantities of material, such as contract companies, construction companies with large orders or designers working on a large scale.

5. Sustainability and traceability

Owning quarries also allows greater attention to be paid to environmental aspects. The supplier can implement sustainable extraction policies, minimising environmental impact and ensuring full traceability of the production process. This is a key element for customers seeking green solutions and for projects requiring environmental certification. In particular, we at Galvani and the group to which we belong are committed to fighting against all forms of child labour in quarries, guaranteeing respect for every human being, in every territory.

6. Innovation and new trends

Last but not least, another great advantage of choosing a supplier with its own quarries is its ability to constantly expand its resources and update its product catalogue and block stock in real time. In our case, we recently opened new quarries in Angola, adding a new source of high-quality materials to our already extensive portfolio. At the same time, mining operations continue in Mozambique and Brazil, ensuring a diversified supply and access to exclusive marble, granite, natural quartzite and semi-precious stones, perfect to meet the needs of the most ambitious projects.

Relying on a natural stone supplier with its own quarries is not only a guarantee of quality and control, but also offers operational, economic and environmental advantages. The possibility of having direct contact with the origin of the material is a crucial element for those who want excellent results and certain timeframes, without compromise. This is the approach to work that has always characterised the way we relate, grow and guide you in choosing the best natural stone for your project.
