Experience

In 1946, pioneers started quarrying the only Swiss marble, Cristallina®. Since then, Cristallina SA has been quarrying and processing Cristallina® using the knowledge and experience it has acquired over many years.

Tradition and passion

Since 2010, Cristallina SA belongs to the Maurino family for whom the extraction of natural stone and its processing is a family tradition which began in 1894 in Biasca with the extraction of granite. Nowadays the Maurino family works on seven quarries, all in Ticino (Switzerland), where they extract the different qualities of natural stones that they then offer all over the world.
