Australia is home to the world’s most plentiful and high-quality stone resources, yet the domestic stone industry remains in its infancy.

Australia, particularly Western Australia, contains the world’s most plentiful and high-quality stone resources, yet the domestic stone industry remains in its infancy.

The Australian stone industry is largely limited to several small quarries supplying metropolitan councils for paving and kerbing projects.

As a result, the local building and construction industry is reliant on imported products, driving up prices for Australian consumers.

With plentiful resources of high-quality stone, the local industry now requires an investment in advanced manufacturing equipment, processing technologies and skilled workers for it to become globally competitive.

We know it can be so much more, the potential is massive.

According to China’s official data in 2019, the scale of China’s stone industry alone reached 1271.6 billion yuan. Despite this, some stone quarries in China and European countries have shut down and reduced production, which has led to a steady rise in sale price.

With extensive industry experience and global networks, ASG is committed to growing Australia’s national capacity in the sector and unlocking its potential to produce and supply local stone products throughout the world.
