Granite quarried in Matobo District.
Finished in Bulawayo.

Delivered across the Gulf.

Matobo HoldCo is a vertically integrated granite quarrying, beneficiation and export platform. Every block that leaves Zimbabwe is already cut, polished and graded — built around Zimbabwe's beneficiation law, not caught out by it.

  • Finished in Zimbabwe before export
  • Physical samples before specification
  • One accountable Gulf desk
Platform

One quarry face. One finishing line. One export desk.

Matobo HoldCo runs the full chain from rock face to Gulf delivery, rather than handing granite between unrelated traders at each step. That means one point of accountability for quality, timing and documentation — from the block we quarry to the slab a buyer receives.

Zimbabwe's raw mineral export laws mandate in-country value addition. We embrace this fully: 100% of our extraction is processed in Bulawayo, delivering calibrated, certified architectural slabs directly into Gulf ports.

Specifications

ASG grading & surface finishes

Our grading protocols are designed to keep optical depth, crystal variance and dimensional tolerance under a single accountable selection system. ASG-1 is the highest grade. Laboratory values and datasheets can be issued against a nominated colorway at enquiry.

ASG-1 · highest is ASG-1

Highest selection

The tightest visual selection. Reserved for programmes where colour depth and crystal control are the primary specification criteria.

Characteristics

Highest visual uniformity. Deep, even groundmass with the least accepted crystal variance and the strictest face-matching discipline.

Applications

Prestige hotel lobbies, executive towers, landmark interiors and elevations where the stone is the principal architectural statement.

Format

Typically specified as jumbo slabs for bookmatching and large unbroken faces. Exact formats confirmed against current production.

Mirror Polish

High reflectance gloss accentuating crystalline depth in darker colorways.

Satin Honed

Smooth, non-reflective matte finish suited for contemporary floors and walls.

Thermal Flamed

Textured slip-resistant surface engineered for high-traffic exterior pavements.

Leathered

Tactile undulating surface offering rich texture and low maintenance.

Catalogue

Nominated colorways

The range is offered as architectural granite, not as a decorative marble substitute. Faces are selected, graded and finished in Bulawayo before they enter the Gulf corridor. Pricing is issued against project specification — request a quote or a physical sample set.

A deep black Zimbabwean granite selected for architectural programmes that require a dark, sober field. Sample before specification — natural crystal structure varies by face.

Matobo Grey

A grey granite from the Matobo range, intended for contemporary interiors and elevations that need a quieter, cooler field than the black colorways.

Matobo Pink

A warmer pink granite selected for programmes that want geological colour without departing from an institutional, architectural register.

Verde Matobo

A green-cast granite from the Matobo range. Specified where the project requires a distinct colorway rather than a neutral grey or black field.

Matobo Brown

A brown granite colorway for interiors and elevations that need warmth against timber, bronze or sand-toned architectural palettes.

Supply Chain

The Matobo-to-Gulf corridor

A finished-stone corridor from Zimbabwe to the GCC. The route is designed for resilience and export readiness, not for a trader-to-trader handoff at each port.

Quarry to plant

Dimension blocks are extracted in Matobo District and finished in Bulawayo before they are released for export.

Beira

Eastern seaboard

The eastern ocean gate is held as a working corridor for finished stone leaving southern Africa.

Cape

Cape of Good Hope

Cape routing is retained as an alternative seaway so the corridor is not dependent on a single ocean passage.

Fujairah

Bonded storage

Fujairah is the Gulf holding point for bonded storage and regional distribution into the GCC.

Dubai

Commercial desk

Customs, contracting and site delivery are managed through Dubai Stone Gate DMCC for GCC programmes.

Community

Committed to Matobo & Zimbabwe

Natural resource development should leave skilled work, plant capacity and local infrastructure in the district that produces the stone — not only an export invoice.

Local value addition

Retaining high-skilled cutting, polishing, and engineering jobs inside Zimbabwe.

Environmental stewardship

Water recycling throughout processing facilities and progressive quarry rehabilitation.

Community investment

Direct infrastructure support for healthcare, boreholes, and schools in Matobo District.

Why specify

Put a sample on the table before the drawing is locked.

Architects, developers and stone contractors specify this range against a physical face — not a catalogue render. Request a sample set, then a quote against the programme.

Origin

Finished before it leaves Zimbabwe

Blocks are cut, graded and finished in Bulawayo. The Gulf receives architectural granite — not a raw-block trade.

Selection

ASG-1 is the highest grade

One selection system from quarry face to slab. Datasheets and physical samples are issued against a nominated colorway.

Desk

One accountable Gulf desk

DUBAI STONE GATE DMCC holds, inspects and supplies. Specification, sampling and delivery sit with the same corridor.

Specification

Put a sample on the table

Call, WhatsApp or send the programme. Physical sample sets and technical datasheets go to architects, developers and stone contractors specifying Gulf work — before the drawing is locked.
