Pimar 150 years of emotions

Based in the heart of Salento, Pimar is known for its unique tradition in the manufacturing of limestone, and while it is loyal to its tradition and its history rooted in the past, it is capable of engaging brilliant experimentations; a productive process that for four generations has embodied the essence of Italian manufacturing skills applied to the treatment of a millenary stone. The stone becomes the creative energy, and emotion, an element that has characterised this land for centuries, and that finds in Pimar an excellent interpreter.

Not only tradition, but also technical research and design. Pimar natural limestone becomes the protagonist in numerous design projects: from architecture to retail, from restoration to design.

Pimar confirms the capacity to be an active partner in the development of projects involving stones, ensuring absolute control over the whole supply chain, from the concept to the final realization.

The stone gives shape to beauty

Pimar’s activities, carried out by the Marrocco family, include the extraction of stone blocks from the quarries owned by the company, a rich site extending over an area of 40 hectares in a particular territory, the Salento in Puglia.

Its calcareous constituent components give to the limestone its compactness and special luminosity, while its unique structure is enriched by the presence of fossil fragments. Various types of stone are extracted, which differ in terms of colour, homogeneity, age and composition; in particular, we should mention the pale yellow, white and grey types.

This millenary and calcareous stone is a natural resource, processed skilfully by master craftsmen who continue nowadays to enhance its creative use in many fields, including the building industry, street furnishings, interior design. A goal that only a made in Italy product such as Pimar natural limestone can ensure, thanks to the passion and the ultra-centenary experience, that allowed Pimar to be known all over the world.
