This led to the creation of the\nagglomerate, which then evolved over the years according to the raw materials used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, the agglomerate\nfeatured marble-based chips and cement was used as the main binder (later\nreplaced by resin).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Products, techniques and distinctive features <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Santamargherita dedicated\nitself solely to the production of marble-based agglomerates up to the early\n1990s, when the first quartz-based agglomerate production plants were\ninstalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Production differentiation\nturned out to be a brilliant intuition, and allowed the company to expand its\ntarget, reaching new foreign markets and buyers with a different purchasing\npower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today the company still offers\ntwo distinct product lines: Santamargherita Marble (SM Marble) and\nSantamargherita Quartz (SM Quartz), which allow it to meet different needs:\nfrom large public buildings to private homes, from small surfaces to\ncontractual supplies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our relationship with the environment<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Santamargherita agglomerates\nare certified for safe contact with food and for use in healthy environments.\nSM Marble and SM Quartz products comply with the standards established by the\nLEED V4 protocol, the certification process related to the construction of\nbuildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our goals for the future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MOR3453-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MOR3453-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MOR3453-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MOR3453-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MOR3453-308x205.jpg 308w, https:\/\/www.santamargherita.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MOR3453.jpg 1622w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Santamargherita is attentive\nto new architectural and interior design trends: it offers a wide range of\nclassic and elegant agglomerates, with trendy neutral colours, as well as an\ninnovative and exclusive selection of products featuring original colours and\nprecious finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company aims to\nconsolidate its market share and to continue the constant process of growth and\ninnovation, without compromising on quality and respect for its distinctive\nvalues. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santamargherita, a leading company in the production of quartz and marble agglomerate surfaces, is based in its historic headquarters in Volargne di Dolc\u00e8, in the heart of Valpolicella: an area between Lake Garda and Verona with unique characteristics in terms of culture, traditions and skills.
