The newest acquisition for the company is a quarry site for Imperial Coffee granite, which has a rich brown color. The quarry, which was acquired in late 2006, was established six years ago. Andrade S/A also has a new quarry site for Surreal quartzite, which has waves of blue and green. Additionally, Andrade S/A operates quarry sites that produce Blue Fantasy, Bordeaux, Candeias Dark Green, Gold Brasil, Green Gold, Crystal Gold, Marinace Green, San Benedito Black, Santa Helena and Ubatuba Green. In all, the company quarries 1,500 cubic meters of material each month.
These acquisitions are just the latest in nearly two decades of development for Andrade S/A, which was founded in 1990 by Cèlio and Zelto de Andrade. In 1996, the company began making significant investments in Italian fabrication equipment, including Barsanti gangsaws and Simec slab polishing equipment for producing finished granite slabs. It continues to upgrade its slab production equipment, with the addition of Simec polishing lines as well as automated slab-handling equipment. It also upgraded its machinery for slab production with the addition of new gangsaws. In addition to the four gangsaws located in Vitória, the company also has two gangsaws in the state of Minas Gerais and six in northern Espírito Santo, closer to the quarries.
