Wholesale and Retail Block Distribution Channel
M+Q, established in 1933 and later incorporated into the Finstone Group, is one of the oldest, most recognised and respected names in the dimensional stone industry. M+Q dominates the European markets and has a commanding position in the US and Far East.
Due to the nature of the product, centers were set up in all the major granite producing regions: South Africa, Brazil, China. On site inspectors are assisted by our highly specialised managers in the process of physically inspecting the material on the behalf of our clients to verify the quality, colour, grade, and dimensions etc.
M+Q has stockyards based in Italy, Spain, Poland, and USA. This worldwide network of suppliers is uniquely able to offer a wide range of stone for each market.
Third parties block purchase. M+Q purchases and distributes blocks quarries by third parties.
The group’s ability to bulk purchase allows for the most competitive pricing to be offered as well as secure preferential insurance, ocean and land transport rates for its clients. Through the successful implementation of this strategy the Group has established itself as the leading exporter of natural stone out of Southern Africa.
