Apexstone · Three Ways We Work With You
What Can We
Do For You?
Whether you need a trusted agent inside the world's largest stone market, a single manufacturing partner for an entire project, or a design-led bespoke piece — Apexstone has built each capability over two decades to solve the exact problems stone buyers face.
Your Buying Agent in Shuitou
We Source the World's Slabs — So You Don't Have To
The Shuitou slab market is extraordinary — and overwhelming. Over 2,400 stone varieties, hundreds of competing yards, and prices that shift daily. For small and mid-sized slab buyers worldwide, the cost of sourcing trips — flights, hotels, translation, logistics coordination — often rivals the value of the order itself.
Apexstone eliminates that friction entirely. With over twenty years of deep market relationships and an established presence inside Shuitou, we act as your permanent in-market buying agent — handling every step from initial survey to container seal, on your behalf, for a fraction of what a sourcing trip would cost.
Market Intelligence
We survey the Shuitou slab market — every major yard, live pricing, current block availability — before you commit to a trip or a purchase order.
Selection & Shortlisting
Our team walks the slabs on your behalf, curating a shortlist matched to your specification, colour brief, and budget range.
Photo & Video Confirmation
High-resolution slab photography and walkthrough video sent to you for remote approval — you see exactly what you are buying before anything is cut.
Price Negotiation
Two decades of supplier relationships mean we negotiate from a position of trust — achieving prices that walk-in buyers rarely access.
Quality Inspection & Loading
Every slab is inspected for cracks, pits, and colour consistency before loading. We supervise container packing personally.
Multi-Colour Consolidation
Combine multiple stone varieties from different yards into one container — one bill of lading, one shipment, significant savings on freight and travel.
The Multi-Colour Advantage
One Container. Multiple Stones. Zero Extra Freight.
Because we hold relationships with yards across the entire Shuitou district, we can consolidate slabs of different colours, finishes, and origins into a single FOB Xiamen container — dramatically reducing the per-slab freight cost and eliminating the need for multiple orders and shipments. For buyers who specify 3–8 stone varieties per project, the saving is substantial.
One Manufacturer for Every Stone Need
Any Stone Product. Any Application. Any Scale.
Most stone buyers manage four, five, or more suppliers simultaneously — one for floor tiles, another for cladding, a third for vanity tops, a fourth for bespoke carved elements. Each supplier introduces its own lead times, quality variances, and logistics complexity. Apexstone was built to end that fragmentation.
From the simplest 600×600 mm floor tile to a full hotel atrium featuring book-matched marble walls, CNC-routed columns, and hand-carved relief panels — our Shuitou factory produces the complete range under one roof, to one quality standard, on one delivery schedule.
Residential Interiors
Apartment floors, kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, feature walls, fireplace surrounds — every finish for living spaces from compact city apartments to large private villas.
Architectural Exteriors
Cladding panels, paving, pool surrounds, landscape steps, façade stone — engineered for outdoor durability with anti-slip and frost-resistance specifications.
Hospitality & Commercial
Hotel lobbies, restaurant floors, spa wet areas, retail podiums, office reception counters — large-format matched sets delivered to project schedule.
Public Infrastructure
Airport terminals, metro stations, government buildings — high-traffic specification stone with full slip resistance and load-bearing test certifications.
CNC Complex Forms
Columns, arches, radiused edges, compound mitre joins, 3D relief panels — five-axis CNC holds ±0.5 mm across every profile.
Artisan Hand Carving
Sculptural elements, ornamental capitals, bespoke fireplace mantels, bas-relief medallions — executed by master carvers with decades of classical training.
Dimensional Tolerance
±0.5 mm
Cutting Technology
5-axis CNC · Waterjet · Gang-saw

Export Port
FOB Xiamen — direct consolidation
Design-Led Bespoke Stone Products
High-End Bespoke, Without the Premium Overhead
Exceptional stone products — the kind that define a space rather than merely fill it — have historically required either access to a prestigious European atelier or a willingness to pay the price premium that comes with one. Apexstone offers a third path.
Our in-house design studio, led by British designer Phillip Dutton White, bridges European design sensibility with Chinese manufacturing precision. The combination produces genuinely bespoke stone pieces — from precision-measured kitchen worktops to museum-quality carved sculptures — at a price point that makes commissioning viable at a far earlier project stage than comparable Western workshops allow.
Design Direction
Phillip Dutton White
British Designer · Studio Lead
Trained in the UK and working across the intersection of craft and material science, Phillip leads Apexstone's bespoke design programme with a philosophy rooted in material honesty — allowing the inherent character of each stone to drive the form rather than subordinating it to surface trend. The result is work that ages beautifully and reads as genuinely considered rather than merely expensive.
Kitchen & Bathroom Worktops
Waterfall islands, undermount sink cut-outs, hob rebates, full-height splashbacks — templated on site (or from CAD drawings) and fabricated to ±1 mm.
Carved Art Pieces
Garden statuary, interior sculpture, commemorative plaques, relief wall art — designed in collaboration with our studio and hand-finished by master craftspeople.
Furniture & Fixtures
Stone dining tables, console tops, side tables, bath surrounds — freestanding and built-in pieces that blur the line between functional object and collected artwork.
