Prometec and Keda Stone – a new partnership for the future of the stone industry

Prometec Srl and Keda Stone are excited to announce the signing of a technical-commercial partnership agreement for the marketing, in Italy and Europe, of slim wire saws for stone blocks (marbles and travertines) based on micro-diamond wire technology. This collaboration marks a significant turning point for the stone industry, combining technical expertise, innovation, and a sustainable vision for the future.

Keda Stone, part of the Keda Industrial group, is a global leader in the development and production of advanced machinery for stone processing and has been committed for years to the development of micro-diamond wire technology, which represents a technological leap compared to traditional gangsaws. With over 50 applications already realized and a constant focus on efficiency and sustainability, Keda Stone has established itself as one of the main players in the global market.

Prometec is nowadays a world leader in the design, construction, and marketing of high-tech machinery for the stone industry. Specialized in complete slab polishing lines, handling systems, and advanced chemical treatment lines, Prometec has installed over 500 plants worldwide. Its ability to customize tailor-made solutions and develop cross-cutting technologies, with particular attention to the sustainability of the proposed solutions, makes Prometec the ideal partner for leading companies in the sector.

The agreement between Keda Stone and Prometec represents a decisive step towards a new technological standard in the stone industry. On the one hand, Keda Stone brings the innovation gained in the processing of silicon for the production of wafers, which translates into advanced micro-wire cutting technology, on the other Prometec, with its knowledge of stone materials and European markets, makes its experience available in the design of customized solutions to meet the specific needs of the markets.

This synergy aims to introduce a revolutionary technology to the market that offers several advantages:

• WASTE REDUCTION: the micro-diamond wire system reduces processing sludge by 4-5 times compared to traditional gangsaws.
• ENERGY EFFICIENCY: it decreases energy consumption per square meter produced.
• INCREASED YIELD: it improves block yield by 15%, optimizing the use of quarries.
• SUSTAINABILITY: thanks to waste reduction and lower environmental impact, this technology can be considered a true “green technology.”

“We believe that true innovation comes through solutions that improve productivity and reduce costs while ensuring environmental respect,” stated the Prometec team, adding, “The partnership with Keda Stone is a concrete example of how cooperation between complementary forces can lead to extraordinary results.”

With this agreement, Prometec and Keda Stone confirm their commitment to building a more innovative, sustainable, and competitive future for the entire stone sector, improving the production efficiency of stone companies with technological solutions capable of meeting the growing demands for sustainability and competitiveness in the industry.
