The Pfitsch Plant
The plant in Pfitsch is located 1,500 meters above sea level at the Alpenhauptkamm (main Alpine ridge) in the rear Pfitschertal valley. The quarry and the site cover an area of roughly 80,000 square meters. Ten employees mine and process Silberquarzit at the plant. This requires drilling and blasting work, which is executed taking the highest safety precautions with slope protection and under constant geological observation.
The head office in Sterzing
Our administrative unit is located in Sterzing. The office building includes a storage area. The entire site is around 50,000 square meters in size. Six employees take care of administrative tasks and natural stone sales & distribution.
Responsible action and
Appreciation of nature
We value nature and treat what it gives us responsibly - durable and reusable natural stone. To this end, we ensure an ecological energy balance.
The stock of natural stone in our quarries has grown over millions of years. The deposit lasts for more than a hundred years, and our demand for the available resources is low.

If hazardous situations do occur despite extensive safety precautions, we carefully and precisely monitor and analyze the situation with the help of a warning system.
