Origin and quarry

"Swiss-made"

Soglio quartzite is, as the name implies, a quartzite, which is at home in Soglio - in the Swiss Canton of Graubünden. There, the predominantly grey-white natural stone, which can equally be called Soglio granite or Bergell Gneiss, is also mined.

We were able to take over in the middle of 2018 the Soglio Quartzite quarry in Soglio and have since then been operating it exclusively together with the associated workshop.
