Levantine, a novel company, begins the year on a strong note. A group owned by Bybrook Fund closed the first quarter with an 18% rise in production and a 23% increase in turnover, according to the company. The gains are attributed to a motivated and empowered workforce, including a team of 20 professionals with a clear export and international market orientation.
The company, expanding its established markets in Spain and Portugal, reports notable momentum in the United States, Latin America, and the Middle East, marking solid progress in sales across these regions.
Among the quarter’s milestones, Levantine highlighted the introduction of a premium natural stone line named after the Mediterranean Stone. This initiative produced a dedicated catalog of sustainable marbles and limestones. The collection is 100% recyclable, powered by renewable energy and water recycling in production. Its core characteristics include low porosity and the ability to reflect high Mediterranean temperatures, helping to maintain comfortable indoor conditions naturally.
Following the company’s growth, Bybrook, Spain’s leading natural stone producer, restructured its operations into three units to broaden activity. Levantine Techlam now handles large-format porcelain tile production, Levantine Granite focuses on granite, and Levantine Marble drives the commercialization of natural stone that gave rise to the firm.
As part of this strategy, Patrice Pages was appointed the new head of Mining and Marble. The manager believes the new Mediterranean Stone line will be a major growth lever for the company.

The mining division of Levantina Group has strengthened, with up to a 10% rise in production across all quarries. This helped restore the growth momentum after the pandemic and the subsequent effects of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. By the end of 2022, the group had also resumed quarry production activities in Spain.
For the Levantina Group, marble represents a differentiating product, backed by six decades of experience in natural stone processing. The past few years posed challenges for the industry due to the health crisis, rising energy costs, and inflation, yet the group has managed to regain its growth trajectory, as noted by Patrice Pages.

Levantina Group is an international, Spain-origin company that leads the global stone sector. With more than sixty years of history, it maintains a presence across five continents under the Naturamia, Techlam, and Pavex brands.
In 2021, the latest year for which accounts were filed, the group reported consolidated turnover of 135.7 million euros, up 11.4 percent, which helped reduce losses. The firm announced late last year the acquisition of the Keros Cerámica de Nules tile manufacturer to transform it into a second Techlam production center.
