Supplying Indian granite on an international level

摘要

Established in 1990, Pokarna Ltd. has become one of India's leading granite sources, and is known worldwide for its state-of-the-art facilities and distinguished materials. Founder Gautam Chand Jain, chairman and managing director of the company, which is located in Andhra Pradesh, India, succeeded in building his company according to his original plan. "We were very clear that we would compete successfully in the global arena by synthesizing the positive values of India with world-class up-to-the-minute technology and systems," he said. "Our goal was to create the largest and nonintegrated granite company in the country." The company's first quarry, which was for Black Galaxy granite, played large role in how Pokarna Ltd. began to thrive in the stone industry. Six years after acquiring the quarry, the company expanded its operations by purchasing a processing unit, and a second unit was added in 1999. Earlier this year, Pokarna Ltd. acquired two additional quarries, Acacia and Sun Gold, adding to its list of granite materials.
