Areniscas Stone - Pinaresca commenced its activity in 1999 with the extraction of blocks from our own open quarries located in Burgos, in Northern Spain. As it has evolved, Areniscas Stone - Pinaresca has incorporated in its day to day activities concepts such as quality, sustainability, R+D+i, & continuous training for employees. Parallel to this, the technological progress and expansion of its human resources has positioned us an exemplary company world-wide.

infrastructure

The factory is located near the quarries, on a total area of 40.000 sqm.

The R&D+i building houses the laboratory, training rooms, offices, museum and a showroom.

quarries and environmental politics

As part our total quality and environment programme, Areniscas Stone – Pinaresca puts into practice and encourages sustainability in all the stages of its activities.

Once the quarry has been closed, we proceed to rehabilitate the area.

A reforestation plan is then drawned up.

After the quarry has been backfilled, vegetation is planted.
