OUR STORY

The Mediterranean area of Europe is the richest place in the world in Natural Marble deposits. Marble is primarily white but can come in other colors as well. Easystone INC is one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of marble, directly from Greece, Italy, Spain and France. The founder of the company (grandfather of the today's owner) was born in Santorini island in the late 1890’s. He grew up during the years of WW1 and he got married to an Italian from Venice. In the early 1920’s he worked as an auditor for the Central Bank of Greece. At some point in the mid 20’s, Athens was becoming one of the center cities of Europe, and marble production for the new construction was in all time high.

The founder discovered that the ancient marble quarries in Penteli mountain (only 10 miles from Athens) were not used. These are the exact same quarries where 2500 years ago, the ancient Greeks of Pericles quarried and build Acropolis of Athens and the rest of the world known monuments. Since then, the founder took advantage of the availability of the land and bought 100.000m2 of government quarry area in 1926, starting the new business in 1927.

The original business was marble block excavation with two cutting factories for marble. Tiles, Slabs, Tops, Stairs and everything else needed at that time …. (As a matter of fact almost every building in Athens built between the years 1927 and 1960 has white marble supplied by our quarry). The company became one of the top Greek and European producers of white marble up until the late 1960’s when the founder/grandfather died . After his death the company continued operations under management of his kids. They expanded the business to other cities in Greece and operated more quarries and factories.

Natural stone Imitations

The two most popular, man-made, imitations of natural stone are stone composites and porcelain:

Composites are created by combining crushed stone with resins or cement. When mixed, and dried, the material is cut into shapes. It is not like marble because it does not have the beauty of natural patterns or the texture and the hardness of natural marble and granite.

Porcelain tiles are made of a conglomerate of sand and quartz. They are heated in ovens and melted with extreme temperatures.

Over many millions of years, natural stone has been compressed to create a substance that is so solid, that you cannot cut or slice it with anything other than the diamond. Each piece of natural stone is unique, with endless patterns. It will never crack, burn, warp, melt or bubble under weather changes or sunlight like most man-made products and synthetics do. Due to modern machinery and production techniques, natural stones, long the hallmark of wealth, are now available at relatively low cost.

Formation of natural stone

Since the dawn of our civilization, many of the world's landmarks have used natural stone for interiors and exteriors. Marble and granite provide an expression of quality, taste, grace and elegance to any surrounding.The use of natural stone was made affordable by major advancements throughout the stone industry in the mid 1970s.
