How Atlas Natural Stones Selects Quarries & Factories

As a trusted Turkish marble and natural stone supplier, Atlas Natural Stones works with a wide network of quarries and factories across Turkey. But not every quarry or factory is suitable for international projects. Our selection process ensures that every block, slab, tile and cut-to-size product meets the requirements of architects, contractors and distributors worldwide.

Below is an inside look at how we choose the right partners for supplying marble, travertine, limestone, granite and onyx from Turkey.

1. Proven Quarry Reliability

Our team evaluates Turkish quarries based on long-term stability, color consistency, production volume and block quality. Whether sourcing Afyon White, Denizli Travertine or Limra Limestone, reliability is essential.

• Consistent extraction standards
• Uniformity of appearance
• Healthy block structure

2. Factory Technology & Capabilities

Factories in Turkey vary widely in machinery, finishing expertise and production speed. We select factories capable of producing high-quality polished slabs, honed tiles, brushed travertine, flamed granite and resin-treated marble with precision.

3. Skilled Inspection Teams

We only collaborate with quarries and factories that allow direct, open inspection. This is crucial for identifying defects, natural variations and finish quality—especially in materials like Tundra Grey or decorative onyx.

4. Export Experience & Packaging Standards

Exporting marble and travertine is different from selling locally. We select vendors who understand international requirements:

• Crate and bundle quality
• Moisture control for sensitive stones
• Safe container loading methods

5. Ability to Handle Custom Specifications

Global projects often require non-standard thicknesses, special finishes or unique sizing. We prioritize Turkish factories capable of supplying:

• Custom slab thicknesses
• Bookmatched marble for feature walls
• Large-format tiles
• Precision-cut façade panels

6. Transparency and Communication

We work only with partners who provide full transparency: production photos, updates, packing lists and shipping coordination. This ensures that every shipment meets client expectations.

Conclusion

The strength of Atlas Natural Stones lies not only in Turkey’s diverse stone resources, but also in our selective partnerships with the country’s best quarries and factories. Each collaboration is built on quality, reliability and long-term expertise—ensuring that your project receives the right materials, delivered the right way.
