Assimagra: Elevating the Portuguese Natural Stone Industry to Global E

Portugal is known for its exceptional craftsmanship, artistry, and natural beauty — and nowhere is that more evident than in its world-class stone industry. At the heart of this legacy stands Assimagra– Resources and Mineral Industry of Portugal, a national association that has been representing, supporting, and empowering the Portuguese extractive and transformative industries since 1964.

A Heritage of Strength and Innovation

Founded on January 2, 1964, the day its charter was officially approved, Assimagra began as the National Guild of Marble, Granite, and Similar Rocks Industries. Since then, it has evolved into a modern institution that defends the interests of the Portuguese mineral resources sector, driving technological progress, economic growth, and international competitiveness.

Through decades of dedication, ASSIMAGRA has become a cornerstone for companies working with marble, granite, and natural stone, ensuring that Portugal remains a global reference in sustainable mineral extraction and design innovation.
