\nThe company has a close relationship with the region, as most of the raw materials used to make SM Marble come from quarries just a few km from the facility (such as the colours of SM Marble \u2013 Breccia Aurora, Botticino, Verona Red, Perlino Pink). In a certain sense, they might be defined as DOC products, as they have close links with this specific area.
\nApart from natural stone, the other raw materials our agglomerates consist of are also sourced locally: indeed most of the components of Santamargherita materials come from the marble district<\/strong> and there are a number of partnerships in place with local companies.<\/p>\n
