The Group's new showroom was completed in the early months of 2020 with an additional area of 12,000 square meters, making it the largest commercial space dedicated to Carrara marble. An area built following all the criteria of industry 4.0. Over the years, the Company's constant commitment has enabled it to pursue growth plan by expanding its business on the national and international market by means thanks to a geographic diversification strategy. At the end of the 90s, the expansion focused on the Asian and Middle East market, and then, in the 2000s, the Company began marketing its products on the American market as well.

Temporary projects, events, collaborations and installations are another opportunity for the Company to develop and promote marble and its brand. In this regard, Franchi Umberto Marmi has signed important contracts with prominent customers such as the supply of Calacatta Franchi® marble for the prestigious TheWell skyscraper in Toronto and the resumption of supplies for the construction of the new great Mosque in Jeddah.
