FLORIM Stone announces International Stones UK as new distribution partner

FLORIM Stone, the Italian large-format porcelain brand by Florim, dedicated to furniture and worktops, has announced a distribution partnership with International Stones UK, appointing the Rotherham-based specialist as a UK distribution partner. The agreement marks a significant step in FLORIM Stone’s expansion across the UK market. 

International Stones UK will supply FLORIM Stone’s premium large-format slabs to worktop fabricators across the north of England. The partnership confirms the strategic importance of the UK market to the wider Florim business. The announcement comes just weeks after Gavin Shaw was appointed as MD for the UK & Ireland, with a clear mandate to build FLORIM Stone's presence in the UK KBB market. The northern distribution partnership is the first of a series of strategic moves planned for 2026.

“International Stones UK Ltd is exactly the kind of partner we were looking for in the north of England”, said Gavin Shaw. “They have the facility, the expertise, and the ambition to match ours. The north of England is a hugely important market and having a partner of this calibre means worktop fabricators across the region will now have a delivery service to match the quality of the FLORIM Stone brand. This is just the beginning”.

Mat Bacon, owner & MD of International Stones UK, added: “Partnering with Florim is a natural fit for us. This is an iconic Italian brand with real heritage, serious manufacturing strength and a genuine commitment to design leadership. As a B Corp certified company, we are proud to align ourselves with a brand that shares our values and our ambition. Our new facility gives us the platform to introduce FLORIM Stone to worktop fabricators right across the north, and we cannot wait to get started”.
