The fabrication process starts with blocks quarried from the company's quarries throughout Brazil. A typical block is 11 cubic meters, measuring 2.75 meters wide x 1.7 meters high x 2.4 m deep. These blocks are processed on one of two gangsaws from Cimef, a Brazilian firm, and the company is currently in the process of installing two additional gangsaws from Gaspari Menotti of Italy.
A standard block typically produces slabs measuring 280 x 160 cm. The 2-cm-thick slabs are produced for the domestic market, while the 3-cm-thick slabs are produced for export markets, including the U.S.
