On the occasion of Xiamen Stone Fair 2026, the China Stone Material Association (CSMA) had invited us together with architects to visit Huian near Xiamen:
Rongfa Stone Group (formerly known as Fujian Rongfa Stone Co., Ltd.) is a leading company in the natural stone industry, headquartered in Huian.
Here are the key details about the company:
• Specialization: The company focuses on the mining, processing, and global marketing of high-quality marble and granite.
• Product Portfolio: They offer a wide range of materials, including marble slabs, tiles, columns, and custom designs for luxury architectural and interior design projects.
• Global Reach: They operate an import and export network serving markets in North America, Europe, and the Middle East, supplying materials to large-scale hotels and commercial buildings.
• Infrastructure: They have large industrial parks equipped with advanced cutting and polishing technology to ensure precision in complex finishes.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the group was already exporting primarily to Europe and the U.S.. Today, it has expanded to include several other international markets, notably Taiwan, New Zealand, and, increasingly, Russia.
The level of robotic automation is high in the initial stages of the sculpting process. The prices of the final products are affordable when automation is heavily utilized, but they obviously become much more expensive as the amount of manual processing increases. The role of machines is growing as the supply of young labor becomes increasingly scarce. The average price for marble pieces starts at 60,000 RMB per cubic meter for marble or granite.
