Imagine going to a place that your friends say “You must see”… You take a challenging hike in nature and finally reach the place that you have been raving about. You can’t believe the beauty of the exquisite view in front of you, you think it is the work of a master painter… Bosphorus, produced by Alson Marble in its quarry in Kırşehir, is just such a stone… The patterns on the stone resemble a work of art…
Alper Özdamar, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alson Marble, said, “We thought of a name from our country and our own culture for our stone with a black background and yellow, white and gray lines. We decided on the name Bosphorus, thinking that the structure of our stone, which looks like a wavy and fluid water, evokes the Bosphorus Strait. Our stones are named Bosphorus Gold when they get more yellow on a black background, and Bosphorus Wave when they get more white. Now a new stone with a light gray background and bluish tones has started to emerge from our quarry. We will present this stone to our customers for the first time at Marble Izmir Fair.”
Stating that they decided to invest in a quarry in Kırşehir after many years of experience in the sector, Özdamar said, “As a result of R&D studies, we put our quarry into operation in 2020 and moved our company headquarters to Kırşehir. All our employees in the quarry are from Kırşehir. ‘Wherever we earn, let’s earn there’ is our main business philosophy. As a quarry, our main target is block sales. Our blocks and slabs are exported to many parts of the world, especially China, the USA, Europe, the Near East, North Africa and India, as well as our country. The biggest advantage of our quarry is that it has a productivity far above the sector averages and we can easily meet any type and amount of demand.”
