THE

CORPORATE

GROUP

KERANDO

The foundation of KERANDO GmbH at the end of 2016 is a reaction to the BREXIT result of the referendum in Great Britain during 2016.

The English companies

• Stone Consulting Germany Ltd.
• Stone Consulting Croatia Ltd.
• Bateig Deutschland Ltd.
• Mc Stone Direct Ltd.

which up to this point in time were engaged in natural stone trading and natural stone distribution in the EU, merged into KERANDO GmbH. The patented company names were adopted as trademarks.

Thus, a conglomerate of companies was created, which was able to redefine and extend boundaries through the diversity of its different natural stones and patented brands.

Together with the natural stone brands

• San Sebastian ®
• Luget ®
• Virsa White ®

and the partnerships made with producers and exclusive agreements with quarries worldwide, KERANDO GmbH can provide more than 800 natural stones as a portfolio for architects & project planners, natural stone dealers and natural stone processors.

With more than 20 years of experience in natural stone, the service concept is always at the forefront of our companies. We attach great importance to the high quality of our natural stones, the exact fitting processing and the fast and smooth delivery.

Natural stone specialist dealers or stonemasons can view our current stock via our raw slab online shop and are thus able to advise their own customers optimally and individually.

Stone Consulting Germany ®

The brand Stone Consulting Germany ® results from the company Stone Consulting Germany Ltd.

In the beginning, the company specialised exclusively in the marketing of limestone from China, India and Turkey in Germany. In the following years the Italian sandstone Pietra Serena and limestones from Spain and Portugal were added to the sales assortment.

In 2006, the exclusive cooperation with a Turkish natural stone partner was started and has been further expanded to this day. The Travertin Beige Light, which differs from the well-known Travertin Classic in many points, became a top-selling natural stone from Stone Consulting Germany ® in Germany and the Benelux countries.

The name Stone Consulting Germany ® was registered as a word and picture trademark at the German Patent and Trademark Office in 2011. As a result of this merger, the word and figurative mark was transferred to KERANDO GmbH.

Stone Consulting Croatia ®

Due to the demand for new exclusive limestones and the given opportunity to establish itself in Croatia, the company Stone Consulting Croatia ® was founded in 2007.

During the constant search for new natural stone materials we found a Croatian quarry owner and natural stone processor. After evaluating the local conditions of the quarry and the processing possibilities of the raw material, an exclusive cooperation with the Croatian company was decided.

In the following years, the natural stone San Sebastian ® was introduced to the German market. The acceptance of the stone’s exclusivity for interior and exterior use led to the natural stone San Sebastian ® being registered as a word and picture trademark at the German Patent and Trademark Office in 2012.

At the same time, the word and figurative mark Stone Consulting Croatia ® was registered. Both applications served to distinguish the stone San Sebastian ® from the already offered limestones from Croatia in the German market and to emphasize the uniqueness of the stone.

The word and figurative marks of the San Sebastian ® limestone, as well as the name Stone Consulting Croatia ® were handed over to KERANDO GmbH in 2016 for exclusive marketing.

McStone ®

Due to the constantly growing online search for natural stone tiles and slabs for private and business use, the company McStone Direct Ltd. was founded in 2010. The company’s objective is to meet the demand for natural stones on the internet by means of an individual and tailor-made online shop.

Initially, a limited natural stone assortment was offered with different types of travertine from Turkey and granites from China. The growing natural stone enquiries and the worldwide contacts to natural stone processing companies that had already existed for many years led to a gradual expansion of the natural stone online offer in the following years. The technical innovations on the Internet, combined with the new visual possibilities of showing products on the Internet, also enabled McStone ® to present and market products more optimally. This prompted McStone ® to adapt its range to the wishes of potential customers and to expand it in line with market requirements with the help of natural stone producers and processors.

Today, stones from all over the world are offered in different formats and finishes for various applications. The natural stone range that can be ordered online today comprises more than 2,000 products for interior and exterior use.
