The Consorzio Marmisti Bresciani was formed in the 1990s in order to promote the quality of materials and skills of its associates, and to assist them in the course of their activities. In addition, the Consortium aims to protect and increase public awareness of the historical and cultural heritage of stone from Brescia.

The Consortium is an association in constant development, which covers the entire marble and granite processing chain, and is considered today to be one of the most active representatives of the stone industry.

The Consortium comprises a number of companies specialising in the extraction and processing of typical local stone from the Brescia area - Botticino Classico, Botticino Semiclassico, Botticino Fiorito, Breccia Aurora, Breccia Oniciato, Porfido della Valcamonica - as well as companies specialising in the processing of stone from all over the world. The Brescian stone sector is a flexible and multi-faceted business structure, which is able to accommodate the most varied demands of the market.

There are approximately 60 local firms within the Consortium, many of which are involved in prestigious projects undertaken with care and professionalism, testifying to the quality and the high-level technical performance that mark the manufacturing sector in the Brescia area.
