TEAM
Jean-Roch Deswarte and Céline Molin transformed SETP from a small business with just two employees in 1995 into the leading French limestone company, now boasting nearly 180 team members.
SETP prides itself on the expertise of its teams.
Our sales team is dedicated to collaborating with architects and construction firms, advocating for the use of our natural stones in their projects.
Our quarry workers have honed their skills through years of on-site training, mastering the art of extracting stone with optimal efficiency, conserving resources, and ensuring the highest quality for our blocks.
The primary sawing team meticulously selects the best materials to produce top-quality slabs for various applications.
The processing workshop brings together diverse skills, from precision cutting with CNC machines to operating on production lines, and machining centres where pieces are prepped for the final finishing touches.
Our master stonecutters and finishing experts, with their deep understanding of the craft, passion for the material, and commitment to excellence, complete the tasks that add the final touches to a piece before it’s dispatched.
The STONEBOX® production workshop encompasses a range of skills from designing simple to custom grids, to filling with precisely sized stones, and managing the inventory of finished products.
We also rely on a variety of support roles that are crucial to our operation: product packaging, loading, maintenance of our extensive machinery, and support functions like research, logistics, procurement, accounting, and human resources.
