Experience is undoubtedly the hardest and the most valuable thing to have in life. Especially in a professional environment. If you have an outstanding experience of 65 years as a company, harnessing it with the energy of youth, you have got yourself a head start. That’s the best summary we could ever do about Fortiori Stone. It may be a new firm. But it emerges on the shoulders of a very experienced giant, Gökyar Marble. Fortiori was born as a fruit of Gökyar Marble’s experience and success in landscaping and exterior design.
Experience is obviously not its only advantage. It has tens of different selections coming from three quarries. An immense source of raw materials. These stones coming from the quarries are processed at a factory in Bilecik, which was established with a $20-million-investment. It employs more than 200 people and it is equipped with cutting-edge technology. We should underline the investment made in this factory in the last period. The firm, which set up the fastest cube stone production line in the world, didn’t lose any of its speed in investments. Quitting metal sheet use in its cut rocks, the firm now cuts its stones with wires. This €700,000 investment enables them to produce much faster with higher quality.
Fortiori Stone is a company that specialized in exterior stones, landscaping, hard floor applications and urban furniture. It aims to be the only option when it comes to the exterior. Gökyar Marble has put its signature to many prestigious places all around de world such as Saint Tropez, the Caribbeans and Champs-Élysées in Paris. Fortiori wants to go even further and specializes completely in the exterior.
Fatih Keleş, a board member at Fortiori Stone, states that their biggest advantage in this is their variety in production. Keleş says, “Cappucino, Golden Tobacco, Golden Primrose, Golden Sand, Crystal Beige and Antique Beige are all produced at our own quarries. Our factory cuts these stones in many different sizes and features different production methods for our customers. We can do hammering, bevelling, straight and angled line scanning, burning, sanding, wearing and split face production.”
Stating that the firm has options like curbs, water canals, walkways for disabled people, pools, benches, and urban furniture, Fatih Keleş, the board member of Fortiori, says, “Our projects, especially in France, are known. Now we’ve started working with some metropolitan municipalities in Turkey. Our technological investments also continue. Soon we will become the company with the highest exterior marble producer company of the world with the new machines that will join our machinery park.”
