03 — What sells here
Stone that suits Romania
Romania takes Egyptian granite in volume — paving, kerbs, cladding and memorial work — and beige marble for interiors. The short sailing and the low freight cost make Egyptian material competitive against Turkish and Indian stone in a way it is not in northern Europe.
