Kallimarmaron Bolari

KALLIMARMARON company was founded as a continuation of the private enterprise of John Bolaris in Serres, "Marmarogliptiki" (1964),which focused on marble carvings, monuments and statues. In 1979, together with his children Markos and Chrysoula they established in Thermi the company KALLIMARMARON which derives its name from the ancient stadium in Athens where the Panathenaic Games were celebrated in honour of the ancient Greek goddess Athena. Due to the fact that it was built in its entirety out of white Pentelic marble, the name "Kallimarmaron" was attributed to it, meaning "the beautifully marbled one" (stadium). In modern times it was the site where the first modern Olympic games were hosted in 1896. The company's philosophy is focused on precisely the two meanings that "Kallimarmaron" is associated with: on the one hand working with finely selected and widely sourced beautiful marble (from kallos: beautiful & marmaron: marble); on the other hand the very essence of the Olympic Games spirit, which is a constant quest for excellence. In 2008 Kallimarmaron encompassed in its activities a new company, M. BOLARIS - CH. BOLARI Ltd for the quarrying of raw materials. Today, having in its ownership two quarries in the Lakkoma area (Chalkidiki, Northern Greece), it possesses an additional competitive edge with the mining, manufacturing and trading of Terra Coral, Terra Coral Grey and Terra Honey.
