For the environment

Two key components are mined from the land; calcium carbonate (lime) and gypsum, both of which are extracted with the most advanced quarrying technologies. Currently, Fassa’s limestone and gypsum quarries are products of environmental remediation, whereby the excavated land will be reused at the end of their operation.

An advanced laboratory with cutting-edge equipment, researchers study the raw materials to create formulations which guarantee superior quality.
