Full-body sintered stone has arrived in southeast Asia, with Lapitec now distributed in Indonesia. The expansion is part of the overall growth in demand for a material that, since 2012, has been met with increasing appreciation by architects and designers. With the material now distributed in 72 nations, exports total 75% of turnover for the company, which sends large-scale sintered stone slabs to America, Europe, Asia and Oceania from its head offices in Vedelago, Italy.
“The number of countries where Lapitec can be found is a clear snapshot capturing authentic appreciation for the material,” said Michele Ballarin, director of sales and marketing at Lapitec. “Its versatility in terms of applications and aesthetics ensures homogenous sales growth, both in terms of geographic region and applications, even if we’ve seen an increasing interest in architectural uses.”
