In 1964 Ioannis M. Bolaris sets up MARMAROGLYPTIKI, a workshop producing marble carvings, monuments and statues as well as wooden handcrafted furnishings for churches.<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Having worked next to his father, Markos E. Bolaris, at the family factory of church furnishings in Serres, young Ioannis learned the art of wood carving very early on. It was this knowledge that he applied onto marble works of art in his privately owned company in 1964; and in turn this enriched knowledge and experience passed on to his son, Markos Bolaris.<\/p>\n

Next, in 1979<\/strong> Ioannis, together with his son Markos and his daughter Chrysoula, creates a new company, KALLIMARMARON, in Thessaloniki. The main items produced are hand crafted works of art like carved marble fireplaces and similar such works, meticulously carved by hand slowly and painstakingly. At the same time, the company continues to develop and turns to the importation of new materials for the expanding construction sector.<\/p>\n

In 2000<\/strong> KALLIMARMARON relocates to brand new, privately owned facilities, fully vertically integrated, at Lakkoma on 32.000m\u00b2 of land; equipped with a state-of-the-art line of manufacturing machines which enable the processing from raw stone block to the most delicate piece of art. The yard is being stocked with raw materials from all over the world.<\/p>\n

In 2008<\/strong> the company expands into the extraction of raw materials with the opening of two quarries in the Lakkoma area of Chalkidiki, where a warm colored limestone, widely known as Petra Lakkomatos or as we call it, Terra Coral, is excavated for further processing and commercial use<\/p>\n

Today<\/strong> the third generation is involved and active in expanding our customer range both in finished products as well as in raw materials.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1568988842098{padding-top: 32px !important;padding-bottom: 32px !important;}” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″ woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2974″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” parallax_scroll=”no”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2975″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” parallax_scroll=”no”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1568988775855{padding-top: 32px !important;padding-bottom: 32px !important;background-color: #fcfcfc !important;}” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″ woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″][vc_column][vc_column_text text_larger=”yes”]<\/p>\n

We are proud of our progress which has led us to today, with values and principles inherited from generations past.<\/p>\n

Creating technically perfect work, executed meticulously and with high aesthetic value is our enduring legacy for future generations to come.<\/p>\n

KALLIMARMARON\u2019s goal is the endorsement of Greek marble, and all marble in general, as a material that when approached in a technically sound and sophisticated way, can live up to contemporary needs and tendencies superbly.<\/p>\n
