Crema Nuova Quarry - Crema Nova
The Crema Nuova Quarry in Bilecik is the largest beige marble quarry in that region, as well as one of the biggest quarries of any kind in Turkey. It also has the distinction of being Temmer’s first quarry, plus the one with the largest capacity. Opened in 1998, approximately 200,000 tons of block marble are extracted from Crema Nuova every year.
Belonging entirely to Temmer, the quarry’s reserves are clearly visible, demonstrating that it can provide marble for at least another 50 years.
This site also features a factory that contains modern, made-in-Turkey machinery which performs intermediate production and supports the integrated plant in Afyon.
Besides the well-known Crema Nuova stone, this quarry also yields the Rosalia Light, Crema Golden, Crema Sunset, Rosa Pink and Picasso stones.
