Neolith Makes Pivotal Evolution in 2025
CARLSTADT, NJ -- Neolith, a global leader in sintered stone surfaces, closes 2025 as a pivotal year for the brand’s evolution. Innovation and excellence have guided every step forward -- from international awards recognizing its products and sustainability vision, to the expansion of its brand spaces, a strong presence at must-attend dates on the global design calendar and the launch of new proposals created for the most demanding environments.
International validation of an innovative vision
The year’s results are reflected in a strong collection of accolades that reaffirm Neolith’s leadership in innovation, design and sustainability. On the product front, Neolith Victoria received the German Design Award 2026 in “Excellent Product Design – Material and Surfaces” and was recognized at the Archiproducts Design Awards 2025 (category “Finishes”). These honors add to the FX Awards 2025 (category “Surfaces”) and the KBB Focus Awards 2025, where it was named surface of the year. Meanwhile, Neolith Ignea earned recognition from the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) 30s Choice Awards (Sustainability) and the Metropolis Planet Positive Awards 2025 (Innovation in Material Use), while Neolith Rapolano was honored in the AN Best of Products Awards. In addition, the company renewed its EcoVadis Gold Medal for the fourth consecutive year, ranking among the top 3% of the highest-rated companies worldwide in a process that evaluates more than 150,000 companies across 220 sectors. This milestone is further supported by certifications such as Zero Waste with an “Excellent Plus” rating, as well as the endorsement of its climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This year, Neolith also received approval from the New York City Office of Technical Certification and Research (OTCR), confirming it as a non-combustible surface approved for use as exterior wall cladding under the 2022 New York City Construction Code, reinforcing Neolith as a safe high-performance choice for facades.
New spaces designed to inspire and connect
Neolith’s growth strategy has translated into new openings created to strengthen its relationship with the architecture and design community in key markets. In Madrid, the brand unveiled a larger, more cutting-edge and functional Neolith Living Gallery, located at Padilla Street 6 in the Salamanca district, spanning two floors designed to deliver a complete experience for architects, interior designers and design professionals. Its official opening, celebrated with an exclusive event, brought together hundreds of professionals, industry leaders and partners -- cementing the space as a hub for networking and inspiration in the Spanish capital. Neolith also expanded its international footprint with the opening of Neolith Urban Boutique Cape Town, a showroom designed to inspire and support specifiers in their daily work, and with its latest opening in Guangzhou (China): Techsize by Neolith Global Design Center, developed together with its regional partner Techsize. This addition brings the brand’s showroom count in the region to 35. The brand strengthened its global profile through a presence at key industry fairs such as the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) (Las Vegas, NV), Salone del Mobile (Milan, Italy), SICAM (Pordenone, Italy) and IDF34 (Löhne, Germany), where it presented its latest innovations and solutions for kitchens, furniture and architecture. Neolith also reinforced its commitment to Spain’s design community through its participation in Casa Decor 2025 and the Madrid Design Festival, as well as ARCO and ADN Fórum, fostering an ongoing dialogue between design, art, and materiality.
Product launches driving design in residential and large-scale projects
Product innovation once again took center stage at Neolith, with launches created to meet different project typologies. In Spain, the brand introduced N-Class by Neolith, a new line that brings Neolith’s design, quality and prestige to market with a more competitive positioning, featuring the new models Neolith Taj Mahal, Neolith Crème, Neolith Mamba and Neolith Azure -- created exclusively for the most demanding residential settings and designed for high-performance everyday living. This was complemented by the launch of Neolith Lux, the brand’s new white model. Neolith also introduced Neolith Architectural, a new 6 mm surface line for interior wall cladding and ventilated façades, with three new models—Serpeggiante, Azahar, and Obsidian -- and two exclusive textures -- Rigato and Cava -- reinforcing its commitment to innovation for large-scale projects.
Global architecture with the Neolith signature
Neolith’s drive to support architects and designers around the world takes shape through landmark projects across all five continents, combining striking visual impact with flawless technical execution. In the residential arena, a private home in Madrid emphasizes the geometry of design, with a language of lines and planes that pursues precision and visual continuity. A standout among the year’s most premium residential projects is one created by renowned Australian TV host Jamie Durie. His home on the Avalon coastline (New South Wales) is conceived as a sustainable luxury sanctuary in which Neolith takes center stage, bringing a serene, contemporary aesthetic that elevates the living experience. In addition, the company signed a historic collaboration agreement with Real Sociedad, becoming an official partner of the club and establishing its first alliance with a Laliga EA Sports team. Grounded in shared values such as innovation and excellence, the partnership includes the integration of Neolith surfaces into the club’s infrastructure plan, supporting the modernization of key spaces such as Anoeta Stadium and the Zubieta training facilities.
With this journey, Neolith closes the year with a clear roadmap and an increasingly solid presence in key markets. The progress made reinforces its ability to support architects, interior designers and partners on projects of different scales and complexity, opening the door to a new chapter with the goal of continuing to expand the possibilities of its surfaces in contemporary architecture and design, and contributing to create extraordinary spaces and a better world. In this way, the brand continues to drive initiatives that connect design with social responsibility, such as the Carmen Lomana charity market, which Neolith has hosted for the third consecutive year at its Living Gallery in Madrid, alongside internal campaigns aimed at strengthening social commitment and promoting a circular economy. These efforts include material donations following the DANA storm that hit Valencia in 2024, offered at no cost to numerous affected businesses.
