Company philosophy is oriented at the restoration of human historical traditions, spiritual and cultural values related to the sphere of construction.
In the course of the last two centuries typical mass architecture has been actively replacing the traditions of stone architecture. Projects of typical housing blocks made of brick and reinforced concrete were put into operation. ManпїЅs dwelling has lost its individual look, the spirit of the time and epoch. Man started to dress like others, live like others, think like others пїЅ his freedom was limited by stereotypes.
Alminski building materials factory and Alma StoneпїЅ managed not only to preserve but also to enrich the traditions, experience and mastery of stone architecture. The specialists of the company continue active research, systematization and development of the experience of previous generations.
