INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRY

R. K. Marble Group, started off as an initiative in providing flooring solutions in 1989 as and in a modest warehouse in Kishangarh, District Ajmer, Rajasthan. The modest beginning gave shape to a dream of mining marble-still considered very upper class and distant for many millions all around the country.

Luck strikes when the people behind the company, Mr. Ashok Patni, Mr. Suresh Patni and Mr. Vimal Patni win a mining lease in Dharmeta and then follow it up with mines at Morwad. The Patni brothers realized the importance of using the latest technology for marble mining and visited Italy a number of times to gain the technological edge. With dramatic effect the production rose multifold as the recoveries per unit of land grew. Ingenuity in the usage of various state of the art machinery such as rock drill, wire/chain saws, hydraulic pusher arms etc ensured easy usage with a number of semi skilled work force. Scores of mining engineers and professionals from all walks of life were picked up to build a company - which now is known for its quality production and processing strength. The total manpower strength is over 3500 today with three fourths of them working in the three mines of the company and the rest at the processing plant in Kishangarh.
