A decade-long experience in the construction industry, and then the decision to approach the natural stone market, as well as foreign markets, and to focus on innovation. So, the company Ca’ D’ORO was founded in 1989 by the Andreola family.
But the company’s history goes back a long way. It was in the early 1950s when Bruno Andreola started working in the building industry in Loria, in the province of Treviso, his hometown. Then, in 1989, together with his son, Pietro, he decided to enter the world of natural stone – marble, granite, quartzite and so on – by founding Ca’ D’ORO in San Giorgio di Nogaro, Friuli Venezia Giulia, a strategic area for marketing products in northern Italy and Eastern Europe. By diversifying its business and investing in an innovative product, the company managed to approach foreign markets and started to work in the construction, furniture and funeral industries.
It was the right call. In fact, after the head office, a second branch, in Cavaion Veronese – the heart of the Italian stone district – and a third branch, in Carrara, at the foot of the Apuan Alps, the world’s most popular quarrying site – well connected to the seaport – were opened, in 2002 and in 2006, respectively; finally, in 2021, the new site in Verona, strategically located from a commercial point of view, was opened.
Currently, the company has 56 employees and a competent, dynamic and stable sales network of 15 agents covering EU and non-EU countries, with the aim of promoting its products, offering customers the best in terms of quality and price.
Bruno Andreola, together with his son Pietro, moves from the construction to the natural stone sector and founds Ca’ D'ORO - Marble and Granite Processing in San Giorgio di Nogaro.
