Company

"Karpontini Bros - Naxian Marble Unl." was founded in 1991. It is primarily involved in extracting and shipping blocks of raw marble.

The company is situated in Kinidaros, Naxos with customers both in Greece and internationally. Nikos Karpontinis, the founder, began working in marble quarries at 15 years of age. His vision became a reality in 1990, when he gathered his brothers, Manouso and Apostoli. Modern marble quarries had been operating in Naxos for 40 years when Karpontinis Bros was founded. The lack of funds for big investments was met with years of experience. In 2005, Giannis Karpontinis took over running the company.
