CITCO was established in November 1947 and was located in Beirut, Lebanon.  Our company's production was primarily of local stone with limited production of marble and granite.  In 1971, a decision was made to increase production and to improve technology in the marble industry.  Consequently, the factory was transferred outside of Beirut to the Araya-Chouiet region covering an area of 16,000 square metres.  The move offered the benefit of increasing work space and working hours.

In 1981 production was doubled.  The production area was increased to 27,000 square metres and new equipment (gang-saws and polishing lines) of the latest technology in the field of cutting and polishing blocks of marble and granite were added.

At the beginning of 1993, we increased our sawing capacity by purchasing 2 new gang-saws for marble that enabled us to produce around 10,000 m² of marble slabs and 4,500 m² of granite slabs per month.

At the beginning of 1997, CITCO installed new computerized machines using the latest technology in cutting marble and granite by water pressure and new machinery to manufacture rustic-style marble and stone.

Recently, in 2000, CITCO added an automated line for the production of marble and stone tiles which produces industry standard sizes.

Today, CITCO is considered one of the leading companies in Lebanon and the Middle East working in the field of marble and granite.
