POKARNA - India's No. 1 Granite Company. The Biggest Exporter of Granite Slabs & Tiles from India.

Most granite companies begin with a quarry or a factory. Ours began with a vision. A vision that Pokarna Limited (formerly Pokarna Granites Limited) would be the most integrated granite company in the country, with a manufacturing ethos that would have simply no equal. The rest is history

From the very beginning, we believed in vertical integration. We begin with the finest raw material, invariably from our very own captive quarries & carefully identified independent quarries - assuring consistent, high quality supplies. Round the year. Ensuring a great start.

We now have two manufacturing complexes with state-of-the-art equipment imported from the finest companies in the world. These machines extract the raw material; then cut and polish the granite with unmatched precision and efficiency. Ensuring a great finish. Our PRODUCTS offer you INTERNATIONAL QUALITY with unmatched COST EFFICIENCY.

We were the first company in the country to use up-to-the-minute diamond wire saw technology to extract the raw material in our quarries. At our factories, the battery of precision gang saws is engineered by none other than Breton and Giorgini Maggi. High-speed computer-controlled polishing lines designed by Breton, accompany the gang saws. A top of the line Pedrini tile plant, the only one in the country, hums round the clock. All of these represent the best of Italy.

The same uncompromising standards of excellence are the foundations of all our machines. Like our quarries, our plants too work three shifts. Delivering quality and meeting the most demanding deadlines. We even own the trucks that move our products. An entire fleet that moves from quarries to the factories, through inspections all the way to the ports for shipments to destinations around the globe.

Most important, we believe in investing in people. In staff training. In welfare. And in an eco-sensitive way of doing things. This ethos ensures quality control, our supreme priority. Which is why our client list is so distinguished, it reads like a Who's Who of the granite trade world.

Packing & Shipping
We are among the few companies in India that can load both open top and closed top 20-foot containers, with the ability to load a closed-top container using C-clamps.

Most customers who have the facility to open closed top containers prefer them because they are cheaper and more secure. We can stack the granite in the container on both A-frames and crates.

Our stacking method is so secure, no movement is possible inside the container. Besides the Styrofoam cushioning throughout, we use only the best chemically treated insect-proof rubber wood, known for its strength, for packing. Even the wood is trimmed and given a fine finish to ensure the granite reaches you in pristine condition! All corners and edges are specially protected with additional cushioning.

We load granite in 20 feet containers. Each container can be filled with 20 tons of granites, which means approx. 315 square meters of 2 cm slabs. As for Tiles, we can load 7200 sq feet of 1ft.X1ft. tiles, or 5400 square feet of 18 inch X 18inch tiles in one container.

Because Pokarna exports large volumes, we are able to secure special shipping rates for our customers.

Human Resources
The founder of Pokarna Group, Mr. Gautam Jain, has always believed that no matter how sophisticated our technology may be, in the final analysis it is people who make the difference.

Not surprisingly, the Pokarna management's uppermost echelons comprises of the finest minds in the industry with academic backgrounds that would be the envy of its peers.
