Caesarstone — Pioneering Engineered Quartz Since the 1980s

We didn't invent quartz. We reinvented what it could be. From a single production facility in the Upper Galilee to distribution across 50+ countries, Caesarstone has spent four decades refining the science and craft of engineered stone surfaces.

Our Story

Engineering Beauty from the Ground Up

In 1987, Caesarstone's founders recognized a gap in the countertop market: natural stone delivered beauty but demanded maintenance. Laminate delivered durability but sacrificed elegance. Engineered quartz — combining 90%+ natural quartz crystals with polymer resins and pigments — offered a third path.

The challenge was consistency. Early quartz manufacturing struggled with color uniformity across production batches, creating visible seam variations in large installations. Caesarstone developed proprietary pressing and curing processes that achieve slab-to-slab color consistency within a measurable Delta-E of <1.5 — tighter than most premium paint manufacturers.

Today, Caesarstone operates production facilities on three continents, applies over 40 active manufacturing patents, and maintains an R&D program that has launched more than 150 distinct surface colors across five primary collections.

Our Journey

Four Decades of Surface Innovation

Each decade brought a new manufacturing capability, a new market, or a new surface technology that expanded what designers could specify in quartz.

  • 1987

    Company Founded, Upper Galilee, Israel

    First production facility established using proprietary Breton stone pressing technology licensed and substantially modified for higher consistency output.

  • 1995

    First International Distribution Network

    Expanded to North American and European markets, establishing the authorized fabricator certification program that remains the backbone of quality assurance today.

  • 2007

    IPO and Global Manufacturing Expansion

    Listed on NASDAQ, capital raised to fund production facilities in the United States and Australia, reducing lead times for the Western hemisphere by approximately 40%.

  • 2015

    GREENGUARD Gold Certification Achieved

    Full product line certified for low-VOC emissions, opening specification pathways in healthcare, education, and LEED-certified commercial projects.

  • 2019

    Outdoor Collection Launched

    Three years of UV, frost-cycle, and thermal shock testing culminated in the first quartz collection engineered and warranted for exterior horizontal surfaces.

  • 2024

    150+ Color Milestone and Porcelain Line

    Expanded the engineered surface portfolio with a complementary ultra-compact porcelain line for high-heat applications, while maintaining quartz as the primary product family.
