MARBLE AND GRANITE

The sector consists of a few large companies which not only quarry marble blocks but also process and manufacture final products, as well as many smaller-sized companies which usually only process marble and granite. The number of companies whose business involves granite is small, and the majority of them is also active in the marble sector. Granite is imported since there is no granite quarrying in Greece.
