To name an entire industry category is not just a success; it is a massive corporate responsibility. When quartz emerged on the global stage in the 1990s as a revolutionary building material, Çimstone became one of the early visionaries shaping this transformation. Founded in 1995 as Turkey’s very first quartz surface manufacturer, we introduced engineered stone to a market where the material was virtually unknown.
By 1996, the first Çimstone collection was launched, fundamentally shifting the Turkish building materials sector and making "Çimstone" the generic, household name for quartz surfaces in the region.
However, our foundation was built on far more than just domestic market dominance. As a founding brand, we recognized that true longevity requires continuous capital investment and uncompromising quality control. We continuously raised the bar in design diversity and engineering aesthetics, setting the market standards rather than following them.
Çimstone is the first and only Turkish brand to be admitted as a member of A.St.A, the prestigious Association of Agglomerated Stone Manufacturers. We proudly represent the maturity and quality of Turkey’s engineered stone industry on the global stage.
In 2022, Çimstone entered a new chapter of financial strength and aggressive global expansion by joining the Akkuş Holding family. This deeply enhanced our operational capital, allowing for rapid technological leaps and an unwavering commitment to innovation.
Backed by this new investment, our state-of-the-art mega-factory in Söke went live in 2023, drastically increasing our production footprint to meet the surging demands of the North American and European markets.
