AGV Marmi e Graniti srl - part of the Testi Group - has developed a niche for itself as a processor of marble blocks, which it cuts into slabs for standard applications as well as customized architectural work.
In the Verona stoneworking region of Italy, the industry is so deep that some factories have developed in a very specialized way. One example of this is AGV Marmi e Graniti srl - part of the Testi Group - which concentrates on cutting marble blocks into slabs at its plant in Volargne, Verona, Italy.

Slabbing is completed with gangsaws from BM of Italy, which have up to 66 diamond-tipped blades and can accommodate blocks as large as 2.1 meters high x 3.1 to 3.2 meters wide.

Equipment at AGV Marmi e Graniti also includes a BM stationary diamond wire saw for block trimming. In addition to trimming blocks as needed, the diamond wire saw - along with a BM monoblade saw- is used to cut blocks into slabs of larger-than-standard thicknesses, such as 2-inch-thick slabs.

Heavy-duty, 40-ton cranes are used to transport blocks around the yard and to the plant itself.
In order to keep organized, all blocks at AGV Marmi e Graniti are numbered with codes for the name of the quarrier, the date and other data.

AGV Marmi e Graniti operates a sophisticated water recycling system from Fraccaroli & Balzan.
