Although Switzerland is small in size, stone consumption is not low. Most of the international stone merchants have their eyes on the two major countries, the United States and Germany. Therefore, they tend to overlook some small but large countries such as Switzerland.
According to statistics of the "World Trade Center" "Stone 2000", Switzerland ranks second in the world in stone consumption per capita. Switzerland's average per capita consumption in 1999 was a little less than 1.47 square meters, which is second only to Greece, which is known as the "History of Marbles," but it is far ahead of the world's stone-producing country, Italy (1.01 square meters). Compared to the United States, per capita consumption is only slightly higher than one-tenth that of Switzerland and Germany is only slightly higher than one-third of Switzerland. The exact figures show that Switzerland's stone consumption reached 10.4 million square meters, ahead of many countries with larger land areas such as Turkey, Canada and the Philippines.
An important reason why the high standard of stone consumption in Switzerland is so large is the per capita high income and high standard of living in the country. The exact data shows that the average family income in Switzerland is 40 percentage points higher than in Germany. Even so, 70% of Swiss people live in suites, and the overall level of housing is very high. Swiss who build their own houses have the ability and willingness to decorate the house more luxuriously than other European houses. Coupled with the Swiss's quest for high-quality substances, natural stone has naturally become their first choice. To give a very important example, in the Swiss housing design granite has been a high-level material for the kitchen for the past ten years. In many houses and high-priced apartments, block stones are also widely used in bathrooms, halls and waiting rooms.
The main use of block stone service industries such as banking and insurance, good quality stone is mainly used for interior decoration and exterior decoration. In addition, block stones are often used in public buildings, such as road construction and paving stones in public places, as well as in the construction of city halls and museums.
Ancient stone crafts Another reason for the high consumption of Swiss stone is that at least in some parts of the country ancient stone craftsmanship can be seen. For example, in the old city of Bern in the Swiss capital, there is a UNESCO-sanctioned cultural heritage – almost a whole piece of Bon sandstone, while in the charming French city of Neuchâtel in the western part of Switzerland, there is a Jurassic limestone . The state of Ticino preserves the most ancient stones. In the Italian-speaking public buildings and dwellings that have a history of more than 100 years, the rock is used to answer the foundations, from the wall to the ceiling.
Main material.
The three arches from northwest to southeastern Switzerland geographically divide the country’s only 41,000 square kilometers into three parts: the Jura mountain area (20% of the country’s land), Mittelland plateau (30%) and the Alps ( 50%). The mountain area is rich in limestone, while the highland area (meaning the central part of the country) is semi-metallic sandstone. The Alps is the main origin of granite and produces granite, conglomerate and marble. News.stonebuy.com
Before the World War, there were about 700 important mines in Switzerland, but today it has been reduced to 80. More than 50 of them are in the Alps and 20 are in the Mittelland Highlands. There are only a handful of Jura mountain regions.
The main producing area is the island of Kranka, in the canton of Ticino and not far from it, in the Canton administrative district of Grisons. Nearly 30 mines are in operation in the southern part of the Alps, producing mainly grey-gapped gneisses and various marbles. The most famous gneiss (named after the place they were mined) are: Machia, Ancerrone, Ilagna, Rodrino, Crisciano, Regisio and Corranca. Green gneisses mined from two mines in the city of Andy, outside the Alpine Basin of Grisons, are commonly used for building exteriors, floors, staircases and tombstones. Grisons also produces Solio quartzite and Vals gneiss. The Canton administrative district of Valais is known both inside and outside Switzerland for its unique green conglomerate Vert de Salvan. The sandstones mined in the Mitteland highlands are Rorschacher, St. Margrethener, Bollinger, Guntliweider and Buchberger. In the Jura mountain area, only the limestones Laufen and Liesberg are more famous.
4,000 workers Switzerland has 4,000 workers in the entire stone industry. The stone mining and processing plant consists of 100 small and medium-sized enterprises, of which 2,000 are workers and 500 are major masons, including a number of stone carving factories of the same size. In 2000, the total amount of raw materials and processing materials imported reached 200 million Swiss francs, approximately 130 million Euros, of which two-thirds came from Italy, and the total exports amounted to approximately 30 to 40 million Euros. The main customer was the quasi-Germany ( Mainly finished products) and Italy (mainly raw materials).
At full speed Since the 1930s Switzerland has experienced the worst economic depression. The hardest hit was the construction industry, where half of the construction workers laid off in just eight years. Although its related industries have not been affected so severely, they have also been hit hard. Switzerland’s rapid economic recovery in the past two years is now fully developed at full speed again. In March 2001, the unemployment rate of the whole industry was less than 2 percentage points, which is far lower than the European data. In line with this situation is the recovery of the stone industry and the large increase in orders. The development prospects of the stone industry are promising, especially the companies specializing in the manufacture of stone blocks for indoor use, of course, also include construction stones for gardens and parks.
