The consortium itself is a single entity that manages the entire production process, including quarrying, primary and secondary processing, sales/marketing and, when requested, design and installation. This structure allows for optimum quality control, reliability, value and speed of delivery, explained Ute Froesa, export manager for Consorzio Cavatori Produttori Porfido.
The firms that make up the consortium are all qualified to apply the name “Porfido del Trentino†to their products, but the consortium also has its own specific brand name of KERN® porphyry to underscore the quality control.
