nir-vana innovation network

The 2018 founded Romanian company specialises in the cutting and finishing of marble, more specifically in the production of differently shaped and coloured varieties of marble pieces which can be used in and on buildings, for flooring, stairs, walls, counters, sinks, fountains, columns, etc. Far from new in civil construction, marble materials are extremely versatile, as they come in many appearances and colours. On the one hand, marbles resist abrasion and have endurance in exterior use and, on the other hand, lend a uniquely prestigious charm to interior design. The appeal of the marble products offered by the Romanian SME resides in the customisable feature, i.e. the company can supply a variety of marble stones, as well as cut, finish and polish them with the help of the high precision equipment they have recently fitted their workshop with.
By signing distribution services agreements the company intends to extend their client portfolio and partner up with other, similarly business-oriented firms with whom they can share know-how and market experience. Moreover, by means of the newly acquired machinery, they are both able and eager to undertake more complex projects and meet the demands currently circulating on international markets.

Advantages & innovations

The company permanently invests in meeting the highest standards of quality in the cutting and shaping of marble. To adapt in a highly competitive market and to their clients’ demand for finely cut and differently shaped marble varieties, the company applied and recently obtained a grant by means of which they purchased a state-of-the-art, 3-axis marble cutting machine. The advantage of 3-axis machining (and innovation, by way of comparison with 1-axis, respectively 2-axis machining) is that the workpiece remains still while the cutting tool moves along the 3 axes to mill the part. The machine allows material to be removed in these 3 axes represented by back to front, side to side and up and down. The cutter is designed for stone working, i.e. it can cut, engrave and drill on marble. It is suitable for fireplaces, countertops, sinks, desks in kitchens, bathrooms, residential construction, hotels, office buildings etc. It ensures high accuracy and maximum work load, which allows for higher working performance as well. Due to the various uses and excellent workability of the equipment the company can supply clientele with uniquely shaped, sized and finished marble products, fitted to different space- and design related needs and expectations.
