From extraction to iconic projects: the acquisition of Santafiora transforms the marble giant into a leader of the total supply chain
The world of natural stone has a new power dynamic. Margraf, the Vicenza-based marble giant celebrated across the globe, has announced the total acquisition of Santafiora S.r.l. This is not merely a financial operation, but a masterstroke by the brand in raw material control: now Santafiora®, Lavagrigia, and Lavarosa stones are a Margraf signature exclusive.
Total Supply Chain Control
In modern architecture, luxury isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about traceability. With this move, Margraf closes the production circle. Directly owning quarries in Tuscany and Lazio means overseeing every single step: from the first cut in the heart of the mountain to the final installation in New York skyscrapers or Dubai villas.
Consequently, this integration guarantees architects and designers a fundamental certainty: the certified quality of a material that knows no intermediaries.
Santafiora and Lavagrigia: The New Portfolio Jewels
What does Santafiora bring to the Margraf world? Materials seemingly born to defy time.
- Santafiora®: a stone boasting warm, earthy tones, ranging from deep brown to sandy shades. It is an “armored” material: resistant to frost, salt, and atmospheric agents, making it perfect for both outdoor contract projects and the most sophisticated spas.
- Lavagrigia: a volcanic rock with a magnetic, contemporary charm. Its grey hues and extreme durability make it the premier choice for urban projects seeking a balance between functionality and avant-garde design.
Synergy Between Technology and Know-How
The goal of the acquisition is to create a dialogue between Santafiora’s historic extraction expertise and Margraf’s futuristic processing technologies. These new exclusive materials will be enhanced through CNC machinery and internal research laboratories, allowing for customizations that were previously technically unthinkable.
A Stronger “Made in Italy”
With this operation, Italian design proves its ability to play as a team. The union between Margraf’s distributive strength and the authenticity of Santafiora stones promises to give life to a new generation of architectural projects, where natural beauty is supported by unprecedented industrial power.
