Scapin Group and Vitium Technology: a partnership to offer new expressive possibilities for mineral surfaces

Scapin Group announced, on the occasion of SICAM 2025, the exclusive partnership with Vitium Technology, a leading company in technologies applied to mineral surfaces.

Under the agreement Marmo Arredo, a company of the group specialized in the processing of materials, is the exclusive partner for the application of Arke Vitium technology on the Italian market,  while, at an international level, fabricators will be able to adopt the Arke Vitium technology only on specific slabs Quartzforms®

“The collaboration with Vitium Technology – said Marco Scapin, Art Director Scapin Group -  represents a natural step in the innovation path that has always guided Scapin Group. We believe in research as a tool to overcome the limits of the material and to offer the design world new expressive possibilities. Arke Vitium perfectly embodies this vision: a technology capable of combining aesthetics and ingenuity, bringing the engineered stone to a level of realism and design freedom never achieved before”. 

 

Mineral surfaces: an innovative technology 

The Arke Vitium technology represents the latest stage of a research and development path that for years has distinguished Scapin Group in the landscape of surfaces.

A slab Quartzforms®, developed ad hoc, is first cut and drilled according to the requested design and then positioned on the customized machine, where the texturization process takes place that makes it possible to reproduce, with very high precision, the pattern of veins and the typical shading of the natural stone.

Toward new expressive forms 

At SICAM, Scapin Group also presented its innovations: a selection of forty-eight samples of natural stone, including travertines, onyxes, quartzites and marbles, displayed on four walls, next to a wall entirely dedicated to the Planet, Ocean and Forest collections by Quartzforms® and to an area reserved for Eulithe materials. 

In the central area there were placed some of the most representative products of the group's production and additionally a selection of bathroom countertops and kitchen tops was offered, demonstrating the breadth and precision of the Group's workmanship.
