The Natural Stone Company has invested in two state-of-the-art factories in Afghanistan that are equipped with sophisticated stone machines and equipment to process, cut, and polish dimension stone products utilizing the most advanced Italian stone processing technology in the industry. A world-renowned engineering company in Italy was engaged in the planning and design of these factories.

All three factories are located in modern industrial parks in Kabul, Afghanistan. The production lines of the two fully operational factories have a monthly production capacity of 40,000 square meters of finished stone.

The quality of these dimension stone deposits is exceptional. Their chromatic range is well suited for the most demanding international markets.
