Fox Marble, the AIM listed company focused on marble quarrying and finishing in Kosovo and the Balkans region is pleased to announce that in January 2020 it will be opening a new large showroom and office in Pristina, Kosovo in which to showcase its materials in a professional and attractive environment. This will allow its material to be displayed in large format slab form under proper controlled lighting to present the stone under the best conditions. This initiative is expected to help generate increased levels of sales.
Fox Marble is experiencing a developing local market for its processed material and range of products from cut and polished tiles to stair pieces, door and window lintels to slabs, supporting increased production at the factory.
This will help underpin the 3-year factory expansion plan currently being developed by the recently appointed COO/GM Sales, in conjunction with the anticipated increased demand being generated by a new sales team both domestically and internationally.
It is expected that there is a sufficient stock of block material at Fox Marble’s Kosovo quarry sites to supply the factory for 18 – 24 months, without further quarrying there, in conjunction with the ongoing production growth from its quarry in Prilep, Macedonia.
Chris Gilbert, CEO, commented
“I am pleased this new facility has been opened, which is a demonstration of our confidence in the growth potential of the business, and I expect this to help drive continued sales growth over the coming months and the medium term. I look forward to updating the market on forward strategy in the new year.”

Notes to Editors
Fox Marble (AIM: FOX), is a marble production, processing and distribution company in Kosovo and the Balkans region.
Its marble products include Alexandrian White, Alexandrian Blue, produced from the Company’s Prilep quarry in Macedonia, and Breccia Paridisea and Rosso Cait and Grigio Argento, produced from its quarries in Kosovo, are gaining traction globally both to international wholesale companies as well as being supplied directly into luxury residential properties.
In the UK these include among others St George’s Homes and Capital and Counties Plc’s Lillie Square development. In Sydney, Australia Rosso Cait, Alexandrian White and Breccia Paradisea marble have been used in what is expected to be Australia’s most expensive residential property. These sales serve to demonstrate the desirability of Fox’s premium marble products as the stone of choice in some of the most prestigious and expensive residential developments around the world.
Marble demand continues to grow with stable pricing and Fox is capitalising on this growth internationally.

Fox Marble Holdings plc
(“Fox Marble” or the “Company”)
Fox Marble, the AIM listed company focused on marble quarrying and finishing in Kosovo and the Balkans region is pleased to announce that it is has signed its first contract for the processing of third party blocks, which represents an additional revenue stream for the Company.
Fox Marble now has three principal sources of revenue from three separate activities, those of block sales from its Prilep quarry in North Macedonia; sale of processed material from blocks of its own material quarried in Kosovo and Macedonia and block processing for third parties.
Under this new third-party agreement, Fox Marble will process stone on behalf of Inter Stone LLC at the Company’s factory at Lipjan in Kosovo. The contract is for twelve months and it is expected that Fox Marble will continue to process blocks of material each month. The blocks due to be processed within the first monthly batch of material have been delivered to the factory site and production has begun. The first order under this contract, expected to be fulfilled in December 2019, will generate around €100k in revenues for the Company. The level of production will be up to a maximum of 1,000 tons per month, depending on the capacity that Fox Marble requires for its production of its own material.
This arrangement will allow Fox Marble to expand capacity at the factory, driving performance improvements, whilst maximising operating efficiencies.
This optimisation performance and efficiency comes in part from the adoption of a new flexible multi-shift system and is part of an overall factory improvement programme achieved since the recent appointments of Francisco Espinosa (COO and Head of Sales) and Secundino Costas da Villa (Technical Factory Manager),who bring with them a wealth of natural stone experience.
Working capital continues to be carefully managed as we implement our plans for growth.
Chris Gilbert, CEO, commented
“This new revenue stream will allow Fox Marble to utilise more of its factory capacity and increase operating efficiency, whilst still processing its own marble for sale globally as well as in the wider Balkan market. We look forward to our ongoing partnership with Inter Stone LLC. I look forward to updating the market in the New Year on our strategy and future growth plans.”
