STONE FROM BÅRARP
In the region of Halland, outside the village of Getinge, our quarry Bårarp is located.
This quarry is one of Sweden's largest, producing about 5000 cubic meters per year.
Due to its unique structure and colouring, each block is one of a kind - no block is precisely like the next one.
This means that the material can have a wide variety of uses, such as memorial stones or architectural stones, but also to a range of exciting indoor uses.
