500 Million Years in the Making!!!!!!!!!!

The quality and fineness of Llechwedd Slate is one of the best in the world, continuing to win quality standards and awards from the day it was first quarried by the mines founder, John W Greaves, right up to today.

Quality First

Greaves has consistently been aware for the need to produce a quality product. It was therefore important at an early stage, to apply and obtain a BS EN ISO 9002 specification.
A quality system by itself is meaningless unless supported by a well disciplined management team dedicated to maintaining high standards in both product and service.
