Sept. 25 – Innovation and technology, quality and tradition: this is the winning “recipe” for Stone Italiana, one of the most advanced companies in the production of recomposed quartz and marble. Born in Verona in 1979, the company has been able to compete and innovate at the international level, experimenting and investing in research to export its “concept revolution.” And today, Stone Italiana brings home another significant success through its StoneBathwear subsidiary. Stone Italiana, famous for its refined materials and furnishings, has touched the heart of London, with its undeniable sophistication. The company, counting 160 employees and €40 million in turnover in 2012, defeated all competition and won the job from the main contractor Mace to supply 305 bathrooms for the largest real estate project in the last ten years: “Nova, Victoria.” The project – for an investment of £ 2.2 billion – will revolutionize the prestigious Central Victoria district: the value of the contract is worth € 11 million. “StoneBathwear – explains the CEO of Stone Italiana, Roberto Dalla Valle – is the only reality in the world to have created a know-how capable of transforming a prefabricated bathroom from a poor product into a luxury one, making it at the same time adaptable to any specific request coming from designers and architects. The bathrooms made for the project ‘Nova, Victoria’ combine the highest level of customized products to significant placement savings. These have a supporting base of 2.5 cm, which allows for maximum installation ease of a full bathroom, and only requires lacing to the pipes already present in the building, without the need for further work.” The first construction phase, valued at £ 380 million and headed by internationally renowned manufacturer Mace, began in June 2013. It will be completed by the second quarter of 2016, and will comprise 170 ultra-luxury modern apartments valued at €30,000 per square meter, divided into 3 buildings of 12 floors. For their implementation, Stone Italiana, through its subsidiary StoneBathwear, provides from the month of February 2014, 305 unique bathrooms. To meet the sophisticated needs of the designers at Mace, the company developed a revolutionary new system that combines affordability, flexibility, innovation and quality. There are 72 models of bathroom design, divided into 4 categories of use: sanitary facilities exclusively, shower, bathtub, and shower and bath. Their cost is €35,000. ” We won this prestigious order – Roberto Dalla Valle continues – thanks to the constant investments we make in research and development, for an average of €1.5 million each year. Winning the bid in London with a tailor-made, entirely Italian solution of this type is a satisfaction that rewards three years of efforts from all our employees.” Stone Italiana prepares also new challenges: “We are participating in contests in England and Doha – said Dalla Valle – we compete for the second part of the Qatar Foundation Education City project for a potential total of €200 million by 2015.”
