The Star Stone Company was founded by Cristian Pop in 2007. Specializing in the production of wet-cast products (slabs, pavers, concrete reconstituted stone and any kind of landscaping products), Star Stone has been growing exponentially since its beginning. Cristian Pop has recently decided to reach a new level by upgrading the plant. The continuing growth of Star Stone involves a high level of performance, which its existing facilities are not able to satisfy. Rather than a supplier, Star Stone was actually looking for a fully-fledged partner for proposing a new manufacturing solution: a major change for this manufacturer, who was basically manufacturing its products manually. Following a first contact during the Batimat show in 2011, where the manufacturer Quadra is always present, Star Stone took a closer look at Quadra by visiting several plants and studying the different technologies that might be applied for automating its production.
