Driven by a commitment to continuous innovation, the GELANDY R&D team constantly explores new colors while testing and evaluating new raw materials. From the selection of quartz aggregates to color formulation, translucency, pattern development and trial production, every new possibility is carefully examined before it becomes part of a finished surface.

For overseas contractors importing finished quartz stone or solid surface worktops from China for the first time, the decision represents more than a change of material supplier. It is a different project-delivery model. Instead of shipping slabs or sheets for local fabrication, the worktops can be detailed, cut, edged, assembled, polished, trial-fitted, inspected and packed in China, leaving only positioning, connection and limited finishing work at the project site.
