Company Description
Although Marmol del Tempisque began operations recently (2010), the company is owned and operated by a family with a long-standing tradition (over 40 years of experience) in the commercialization of premier marbles and granites (via its sister company, Montemarmol Internacional www.montemarmol.com). The initial idea to extract Costa Rican marble began several decades ago; in fact, Montemarmol produced and sold several thousands of square meters of material on a small-scale basis. In 2005, after several studies from international experts confirmed the quality of the product, Montemarmol acquired the property where the quarry is today and began obtaining the concession from the government. This process took several years, and in 2009 it was finally issued after having met all of the strict environmental requirements. In early 2010 a new company was formed, where the family invited a group of Costa Rican investors to join efforts in this project. Throughout 2010, Marmol del Tempisque invested heavily in opening the quarry and setting up the plant. Today, Marmol del Tempisque can produce around 150,000 sq m (over 1,600 sq ft) of tiles and slabs per year, and by 2012 it expects to triple production capacity. 
Crema Costa Rica, the company’s main product, is now installed in some of the countries premier residences as well as several five-star hotels and resorts. The company is now beginning to export its products worldwide, to countries like India, United States and Brazil.
