Luserna stone quarries: direct extraction in Montoso
Manavella directly oversees the extraction of the raw material from four Luserna stone quarries located in Montoso, at an altitude of 1,400 metres. This direct connection with the area and the raw material is one of the distinctive features of the company’s work, which has specialised for generations in extracting and subsequently processing this natural stone.
The experience gained over the years enables Manavella to follow the material from its origins and transform it into products for a variety of applications in construction and architecture.
From the quarries to the Bagnolo Piemonte facility
In the past, Luserna Stone was processed directly at the quarry. Today, after extraction, the material is transported to Manavella’s facility in Bagnolo Piemonte, in the province of Cuneo, where it undergoes the various processes and treatments required to create the finished product.
Managing the Luserna stone quarries directly enables the company to oversee every stage of production, maintaining a direct relationship with the extracted stone and bringing out its natural characteristics. Technical expertise is combined with traditional methods passed down through generations, keeping alive a tradition deeply rooted in this area.
Extracting Luserna Stone in Montoso
All four quarries used by Manavella are located in the Montoso area. This is where the stone’s journey begins, before it is transported to the company’s facility.
Extraction is a key stage in the entire production process. The company’s knowledge of the raw material and experience in the industry allow it to manage this activity directly and subsequently oversee the stone’s processing according to its various intended uses.
Direct contact with the material also helps preserve the value of a tradition that has long been part of the local area.
Once it reaches Bagnolo Piemonte, the stone is processed into elements for paving, cladding and a wide range of architectural applications.
A tradition passed down through generations
Work in the Luserna stone quarries marks the starting point of a process that Manavella carries forward through experience passed down from generation to generation. From extraction in Montoso to processing in Bagnolo Piemonte, the company directly oversees the various stages required to transform the raw material.
Processing after extraction makes it possible to meet a range of design requirements, while keeping the stone’s natural characteristics and the care that defines the company’s work at the heart of everything it does.
Traditional craftsmanship, experience and knowledge of the raw material come together in a production process rooted in the Piedmont area and in the history of a material used in construction and architecture for centuries.
