Antolini
Haute Nature
Synonymous with excellence and exclusivity in the natural stone sector for sixty years, Antolini
processes and markets natural stones, bringing out their innate beauty through a skilful
combination of master craftsmanship and technological innovation.
Based on processing expertise accrued as far back as 1920, the company, founded in 1956,
developed advanced engineering techniques over the years that are able to reveal the stone in all
its natural splendour, placing it at the service of the most creative minds and lovers of beauty.
Antolini extracts stones with skill and passion from the best quarries in the entire world, about thirty
of which are owned or directly managed by the company, in order to keep its product range new
and exclusive. More than 1,000 types of marble, granite, onyx, limestone, precious stones,
shellstones and gemstones are shaped by the creativity of designers around the world, offering
solutions that can be applied in many different sectors: residential, retail, hospitality, spas and
wellness centres, showrooms, offices, public spaces, contract orders.
Among the numerous natural stones available, many are materials that are offered exclusively by
the company, an additional guarantee of uniqueness.

The origins of beauty: the careful selection of materials.
In order to offer excellent products in natural stone, the company selects the best quarries in the
world, based on the judgement and technical skills of selected experts.
The expertise and experience of these professionals enable the most exclusive quarrying sites to
be identified and the best blocks to be found, each classified based on size and the aesthetical and
structural characteristics. The experience and intuition of the Antolini family do the rest, so that the
quarried stone complies with the criteria of excellence imposed by the company.
Sustainable technologies for innovative solutions
Antolini is at the cutting edge in research and experimentation, including in the field of processing
technologies. As well as exclusively using the latest generation machines to increase the quality of
the products and reduce environmental impact, the company has been able to devise and patent
processes never tried before that can generate exclusive solutions.
Examples include the AVP®, Antolini Vacuum Process, a revolutionary process for the natural
stone sector that, through the use of the most innovative vacuum technologies, strengthens the
entire thickness of the slab with special resins of the highest quality, specifically and exclusively
made for Antolini. This makes it easy to work the rarest, unique materials and enhance the beauty
of the stone through the optimal polishing of all the materials, irrespective of the structure and the
petrographic composition.
AVP® is the outcome of years of research and experimentation using components from the
aeronautical and nautical fields. The AVP® process is covered by international patents that
guarantee the uniqueness of Antolini products.
Material treated with the AVP® process is guaranteed to have greater resistance than the same
material without such treatment, thereby enabling its use also for structural applications.
Thanks to the creation of this exclusive procedure, Antolini can offer its clients materials that
otherwise, given their fragility, could only be used in a limited way for a few applications.

Unique among processing technologies, A zerobact is an innovative treatment of natural stone to
give a bacteriostatic effect that ensures safe surfaces. A zerobact is certain to bring remarkable
benefits in all applications, but it is a real boon for the kitchen. It uses an ion-based
nanotechnology to prevent the proliferation of bacteria and mould on the surfaces. Antolini is the
first company in the natural stone sector to apply this bacteriostatic treatment directly on the stone
slabs, making use of a unique formula that is a worldwide exclusive.
The properties acquired by the stone through A zerobact – a process that does not alter the
colours or the properties of the materials – are long lasting and do not undergo changes due to
external agents and so can be applied indoors and outdoors.
Antolini’s A zerobact has been certified by the U.S. EPA and, at the same, holds both the EU and
the NSF certificates of suitability for contact with foodstuffs.

Exclusive collaborations in the service of beauty
Every Antolini stone celebrates nature through its colours and lends itself to use not just in the
worlds of interior design and furnishings but also art and fashion. A precious, yielding tool in the
hands of creative minds, stone can be shaped and adapted to creative inspiration, giving rise to
unique works, each with different expressive and communicative energy.
The perfect synergy between exclusivity and product variety is the cornerstone of significant
collaborations between the company and major names like Claudio Silvestrin, Alessandro La
Spada, Raffaello Galiotto and Giulio Cappellini.
Antolini offers an original and precious raw material that can give form to the most courageous
visions.
