Slovak stone masonry company Mramor is considering to create with the Chinese businessman Liu Longjun a joint venture, which would focus on importing natural stone from China to the Central Europe.

While Liu Longjun is keen to gain access to the European market, Mramor hopes to secure a supply of cheap high quality natural stone, which it would then sell further to smaller stone masonry companies in Slovakia.

While there are no firm plans in place yet, the investment could amount to several millions of euros and the company could create around 100 new jobs.

The new company plans to supply stone not only to Slovakia, but also to the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Austria.
