Marble Centre International (MCI), India's leading importer and retailer of luxury marble and natural stones, announced an exclusive partnership with Atlas Concorde, the globally acclaimed Italian ceramics brand, to bring its range of superior quality porcelain tiles and surface solutions to the Indian market. With patented technologies for design, finish and texture, these tiles blend the authentic look and feel of natural products with the durability and functionality of engineered materials.
“The realism of these designs and their closeness to the natural material is almost unreal. When combined with their high functionality and performance, they make for a smart choice,” said Rahul Maheshwari, Director, Marble Centre International. “Our obsession with Italian design and quality is deeply rooted in our founding origins. We are excited that we are once again bringing the best in the world products for our Indian consumers.”
"We see the collaboration as a perfect platform to address a gap in the market," added Gaurav Maheshwari, Director of Business Development, Marble Centre International. "Today’s discerning consumers no longer settle for just visual appeal—they demand high-performance surfaces that enhance both the form and function of their spaces. With Atlas Concorde’s innovative technologies and exquisite collections, we are excited to introduce Indian clients to what’s truly world-class and cutting-edge in stone and porcelain."
For Atlas Concorde, with its global footprint, expanding in the Indian market marks a significant milestone. Meanwhile, Marble Centre’s expansion into porcelain tiles is a natural extension of its core expertise in imported marble and natural stone, enabling it to serve a broader customer base. Beyond shared values and a quality-first approach, this strategically aligned partnership blends Italian excellence with Indian ambition to redefine luxury surfaces and elevate premium spaces. The venture launches at MCI’s state-of-the-art experience centre in Bangalore, with plans to expand from South India to a nationwide footprint.
With a 50-year Italian legacy, Atlas Concorde has a global footprint across Paris, Milan, London, Nashville, Dubai, Moscow, and Lyon. It is a trusted name in over 130 countries across 5 continents with a group turnover of over €1 billion. Its commitment to innovation is reflected in its reinvestment of 10% of annual sales into R&D, driving the launch of new products every year, which push the limits of design and performance.
Atlas Concorde offers a comprehensive range of 100% Made in Italy products, like porcelain tiles, white-body ceramic wall tiles, and large slabs, making it a one-stop solution for residential, commercial, hospitality, and retail projects. With unmatched production capacity and range, the brand supports large-scale, customized requirements and introduces several new product designs annually. Atlas Concorde has been the choice for prestigious projects worldwide, including the Dubai Mall, UAE, W Hotel, Hungary, Radisson Blu Hotel, Ukraine, Fendi Chateau Residences, Uruguay, Emerald Maldives Resort, and many more.
The brand launches in India with its Marvel World, Boost World, and Log World collections. Marvel World is a comprehensive collection for the most authentic marble look, blending maximum realism with the durability and ease of ceramic tiles. Boost World is an assortment of ceramic tiles that is suitable for diverse design requirements. Log World, on the other hand, is a collection that interprets the authentic beauty of oak wood in two distinct, naturally inspired graphic variants.
Atlas Concorde has a long tradition of collaborating with the design fraternity to launch innovative products designed “in line with the most advanced needs of contemporary design” and are well accepted in the design community globally. This includes exclusive collections like Marvel Meraviglia, Diamond Décor series by Zaha Hadid Associates, Prism, Sign, and Square by Piero Lissoni, Marvel Travertine by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), and Boost Natural by Matteo Brioni.
As Marble Centre International and Atlas Concorde join forces, they are not just redefining luxury surfaces today but reshaping the future of Indian design.
