The natural stone market is evolving rapidly. More and more projects require lightweight materials, reduced thicknesses, and high-precision processing, without compromising aesthetic quality or technical performance.

To respond to this evolution, we have invested in two new production technologies: a multi-wire saw and a calibrating machine. These two systems allow us to work with extreme precision even on very thin slabs, expanding our production possibilities and improving control over the final result.

Thin slabs: more design possibilities

The use of thin slabs is increasingly widespread in various sectors, from furniture and interior design to technical applications and the naval sector.

Reducing the thickness of natural stone means obtaining lighter, more versatile materials that are easier to integrate into projects where weight, space, and load management are key design elements.

Thin slabs are increasingly in demand for:

  • kitchen countertops
  • vertical cladding
  • custom furnishings
  • contract and retail sectors
  • naval applications
  • large, lightweight surfaces

This evolution, however, requires increasingly precise and controlled cutting technologies.

Multiwire machine: A New Frontier in Thin-Cutting

Our new Pedrini GS230 Tech12 multiwire represents a major step forward in natural stone processing.

Thanks to its 96 diamond wires, it allows for extremely precise cuts and the production of very thin slabs, up to approximately 12 mm.

Multiwire technology improves process control and increases production flexibility, also allowing slabs of different thicknesses to be produced simultaneously from the same block.

This approach allows us to optimize processing and adapt production to specific project needs.

Calibrating Machine: Uniform Surfaces and Precise Tolerances

Alongside the multiwire machine, we have introduced a new calibrating machine that allows us to achieve uniform thicknesses and highly precisely calibrated surfaces.

This process is especially essential in applications requiring tight tolerances and consistent aesthetic continuity, such as kitchen countertops or large surfaces.

Calibration takes on an even more important role in the processing of particularly hard and technical materials, such as natural quartzite and crystal, which require greater control throughout the production process.

10 mm Slabs and Ultra-Thin Solutions

Thanks to our new systems, we are able to supply finished slabs with very thin thicknesses:

  • 10 mm slabs
  • slabs up to 6 mm with mesh reinforcements

Thin slabs open up new design possibilities in all those contexts where weight and size must be reduced without sacrificing the quality of natural stone.

For designers, furniture companies, and fabricators, this means greater design freedom and new application possibilities.

Higher material yield, less waste

Reducing thicknesses also represents an important advantage in terms of sustainability and resource optimization.

By working with thin slabs, it is possible to significantly increase the yield obtained from each block of natural stone:

  • approximately 36 m² with traditional 2 cm processing
  • up to approximately 50 m² with reduced thicknesses

This allows for more efficient use of the material, reducing waste and maximizing the value of the raw material.

An approach perfectly aligned with the sustainability path undertaken by Corradini Group, aimed at continuously improving processes, production yields, and resource management.

Technology and know-how for new design possibilities

Technology alone is not enough. To achieve precise and reliable processing, it is essential to integrate it with experience, process control, and knowledge of natural stone.

The investment in the new multi-wire machine is part of a broader technological evolution, designed to offer greater precision, greater production flexibility, and new design possibilities.

Because today, value lies not only in the material, but in the ability to transform it in the most suitable way for the project.
