For more than 40 years VIR has been cultivating several proprietary quarries in Sardinia. The current production of over 40,000 cubic meters of raw blocks (about 1,500,000 square meters of 20 mm thick slabs) allows us to deal with large-scale contracts guaranteeing stability and consistency of quality and aesthetics, along with economic competitiveness. All quarrying activities are carried out with absolute respect for the environment and workplace safety, using 3D quarrying plans, highly skilled teams, state of the art extraction techniques such as diamond wire sawing, automated drilling machines and dimensionally appropriate quarrying equipments. These methods of cultivation ensure high productivity, respect for the raw materials, impressive cost savings and an optimized, fully traceable supply chain.

For further processing phases we use new generation systems and technologies built to the highest standards of efficiency and safety, allowing us to be prepared to meet the most advanced design requirements. In VIR we love the environment and we produce materials that are inherently earth-friendly. Volcanic rocks cultivated by us provide many ecological attributes: high volume availability, low energy use in all stages of extraction, processing and transport, a very long expected life cycle, care and maintenance ease and affordability, recyclability and a large efficiency based on total vertical integration. In VIR we care to conserve natural resources, prevent pollution, reduce waste to a minimum and our cultivation techniques are in complete respect for nature and the landscape in which the quarry is located.
