About us

SAMACA

50 years of experience

Since our origins in 1968, our company has grown and we have become a benchmark in the natural slate sector, to which we bring innovation and technology allowing for total product traceability, literally from ‘rockface to roof’

We are dedicated to the extraction, elaboration and commercialization of slate from our quarries located in the communities of Galicia and Castilla-León, in Spain, and ornamental stones (such as MORISCA), in the state of Piaui, in Brazil.

We have an extensive multidisciplinary team of 400 people with proven experience and knowledge of the sector: technicians, skilled workers and a network of commercial managers dedicated to offering our clients an excellent service coupled with the highest standards of quality and reassurance. Along with this, respect for the environment through conscientious production techniques and waste management and health and safety at work are indispensable priorities for us.

We are a group

Our capacity and capability to offer diverse options within production allows us to offer the widest range of sizes, grades, formats and colour etc.
