• Extraction: The Origin of Raw Marble 
  The adventure of marble begins in the quarries, where it is extracted in the form of massive blocks. In Morocco, marble deposits are primarily located in the Rif, Middle Atlas, and High Atlas regions. The blocks are carefully cut with diamond wire saws to avoid cracks and preserve the natural structure of the stone. Once extracted, the blocks are transported to processing plants. 

• Slicing: The First Step of Transformation 
  Once at the factory, marble blocks are cut into slabs or tiles of different thicknesses using large saws. This process, also performed with diamond tools, is carried out with great precision to ensure a smooth and even cut. Depending on the client’s needs, the slabs can vary in size and thickness, ready for the subsequent transformation stages. 

• Finishing: From Raw Cut to Polished Surface 
  Finishing is the step where marble reveals all its splendor. Several techniques can be used to give marble the desired appearance: 

• Polishing: Polishing gives marble a shiny and smooth surface, highlighting its natural veins. 

• Smoothing: This finish gives marble a more matte surface while retaining its softness to the touch. 

• Brushing: For a more rustic and natural look, brushing technique is used, leaving a slightly rough texture. 

• Flaming: This technique involves heating the surface of the marble, creating a rougher texture ideal for outdoor areas. 

• Transformation into Finished Products: Slabs, Tiles, and Art Objects 
  Once finishing is completed, marble is cut into various formats for diverse uses. Slabs are often used for floors and walls, while smaller tiles are ideal for kitchen and bathroom coverings. In addition to architectural applications, marble can also be sculpted into art pieces or furniture. The quality and precision of modern machines allow for custom marble pieces to meet the specifications of each project. 

From raw block to finished product, the transformation of marble is a complex process that requires technical expertise and artisanal know-how. Each step, from extraction to finishing, plays an essential role in producing high-quality marble, ready to beautify your indoor and outdoor spaces. Thanks to modern technologies and skilled artisans, Morocco positions itself as a global leader in the transformation of this prestigious material.
