In 2002, Qualita purchased its first quarry, and it now operates a total of seven quarries, including Giallo Argento (Gold “Oro†and Silver ), Gold and Diamond, White and Silver, Golden Flakes, Peacock Light, Golden River and Golden Eagle.
The factory in Itaquacetuba is equipped with four gangsaws from MGM of Brazil, which process blocks into raw slabs. Shortly after buying the stoneworking plant, Qualita added a new polishing line from MGM, which is equipped with 16 polishing heads. And to meet a popular trend among international customers -- particularly within the U.S. -- the company treats slabs with resin products from Tenax S.p.A. as requested. The resin is applied by hand, and a Rosh Industrial dryer is used to complete the process.
