With over 60 years of experience in the processing and supply of natural stone for the built environment, Italian company Savema has recently entered a new phase in its development following the acquisition of a majority stake in the company by a leading Italian investment group.

The new ownership brings experience across sectors such as luxury hospitality, high-end real estate development, and the yachting industry. Based in Pietrasanta, in the Carrara stone district, Savema operates as a fully integrated stone contractor, managing the process from quarry sourcing through to fabrication.

The company already owns two quarries and has developed long-standing relationships with quarry operators worldwide, enabling it to work across a wide range of materials, including marble, limestone, granite, and travertine.

 World Trade Center

Over the decades, Savema has contributed to a number of complex, high-end international projects, working alongside leading architects, developers, and contractors. Its portfolio includes major cultural and commercial developments such as the Bloomberg Headquarters in London, designed by Foster + Partners, where Savema supplied the stone façade and lobby, The Shard, and One World Trade Center (Freedom Tower) in New York, where Savema supplied interior stone works, as well as iconic projects across the UK and North America.

The company hopes the transaction will support further investment in production capabilities, technologies, and material research, while also reinforcing its presence in key international markets across the northern hemisphere and the Middle East.

The Shard

As the use of natural stone in architecture continues to evolve, including toward more bespoke and technically advanced applications, an even higher level of coordination is required across the supply chain. The new ownership is expected to enhance Savema’s ability to respond to increasingly demanding project requirements, where design ambition, material performance, and execution capabilities must be closely aligned.

The company has said it will maintain its focus on delivering project-specific solutions and looks forward to supporting clients with its technical expertise and long-standing experience with complex architectural work.
