ABOUT THE COMPANY

History

INTERSTONE® is a company with several years of experience and an established market position. It was established in 2000 by two partners – Tadeusz Wysocki and Wiesław Sordyl. Prior to the development of the business in Poland, the founders of INTERSTONE® had lived in Italy for many years. This is where they had developed their passion for the natural stone. They learned about the specifics of this precious product, its diversity and its best kinds from up close. This was the place where they learned the principles of stone trading, including its import to Poland. After years spent in Italy and in the context of the changing nature of the native market, they decided to return to Poland. The key decision they made was about investing in their own stone warehouse and maintaining the stock in Poland. Thanks to that, they could begin a fast and efficient service for the growing group of the Polish clients. The next mile stone in the development of INTERSTONE®, achieved a few years after launching the warehouse, was the initiation of the direct import of the stone from the country of origin. This actually opened the doors to the new possibilities for the company and had resulted in introducing many new stones to the company offer. Shortly after that, the offer was extended by the quartz composites. INTERSTONE® became the exclusive distributor of the Silestone brand in Poland. This product turned out to be a great success. It was received by the architects, the business partners and the individual clients with great enthusiasm. This instilled the faith in the owners of INTERSTONE® in the products other than the natural stone. It turned out that the technological development also within the masonry industry was so advanced that entirely new products with the parameters often better than the ones possessed by the natural stone were produced.

The biggest discovery as well as the biggest sales success of INTERSTONE® within the recent years have been the LAMINAM quartz sinters. The company had noticed them in 2012 when they were still not recognized in Poland. After 2 years of intensive works and education, there aren’t many people in Poland or the neighboring countries (for which INTERSTONE® is the exclusive distributor, such as the Baltic countries or Ukraine), professionally connected with the stone and the interior design industries, who would not know what quartz sinters are. Currently, LAMINAM constitutes 40% of sales conducted by the company, and the potential of this product is still far from being exhausted. At the same time, INTERSTONE® keeps investing in the development of the natural stone offer which remains to be the most important and most prestige product in the company portfolio.
