TURKEY -- With approximately 250 varieties of marble, limestone, travertine and onyx being quarried and exported all around the world, Turkey has become a leading producer of natural stone. Recent studies confirm this natural richness of the territory, proving that the current supplies of travertine, marble and onyx in Turkey amounts to about 13 billion tons, which is almost 30% of the whole world's marble supply.
The Turkish entrepreneurs who have been quarrying and fabricating these materials have acknowledged the technological innovations in stone-working machinery that have aided the development of their factories. In particular, Pedrini, in its more than 40 years of history, has significantly aided this development, according to the company.
