Quarries
In its own production cycle, the Marazzi Group uses natural materials
that come from specific excavations in authorized areas. Mining
operations involve modifications to areas that are often uncultivated,
but whose terrain and natural elements are affected in ways visible
from the outside.
The industrial management of quarrying activities is carried out
in full agreement with local authorities; Marazzi works with them
to establish how the areas are to be reclaimed after "exploitation",
undertaking responsibility for special environmental needs as well.
The Marazzi Group directly owns the following quarries:
Cava Marazzi Group, Ferentino (Province of Frosinone, Italy)
American Marazzi Tile Inc., Milsap, Texas, USA
Domkerampromsyrio Ltd. Co., Torezkoie, Ukraine
ZAO Welor, Maloarhanghelskoe, Russia
For other materials used in the production cycle, preference is
given to materials that come from areas excavated in full compliance
with environmental standards. One example is the feldspar that
comes from the Eglece- Dersi and Telici quarries in Nilas-Aydin,
Turkey, where extraction operations are also ISO 14001-certified.
