WHY SHOULD CUPA PIZARRAS WIN THE BEST SUPPLIER OF THE YEAR AWARD?
CUPA PIZARRAS leads the world in slate production. Our 16 quarries and 22 processing plants combine the latest technology with our traditional know-how and craftsmanship.
We have been producing slate since 1892. We have over 120 years of experience in this area and a team of over 1,500 associates made up of experts who are passionate about natural slate.
In fact, one out of three slates for roofing and covering facades in the world have our name written on them.
Thousands of architects, professional roofers and private home owners rely on our natural slate to make all of their projects a reality:
R and N Roofing worked with CUPA PIZARRAS on a recent Langton Homes project, and we found them to be a very reliable supplier for a number of reasons. They always deliver on time and in full which is so valuable from our point of view as it saves unnecessary delays along the line, and their slate products are of the highest quality. There is also evidence of commitment to sustainability and health and safety which is very important in this industry.
For these reasons, we would not hesitate to recommend CUPA PIZARRAS, and would definitely choose to work with them again on future projects.
Robert Cannon, for R and N Roofing
We have used CUPA PIZARRAS slates on almost all our projects as we find their slate to be of top quality, and it looks great. Also, their customer support is fantastic – we will continue to use CUPA PIZARRAS’ products, and recommend them to others.
