Spanish Slate Quarries

SSQ Group is one of the world's leading producers and suppliers of slate products for use by the building and construction industry.

SSQ - Spanish Slate Quarries as it was originally known, was formed in 1983 to import Spanish slate to the UK to satisfy an increase in demand for high-quality slate within the building industry.

SSQ's head office and main warehouse are located in north-west London, within easy reach of the UK's motorway network. This, coupled with a minimum stock holding of at least one million slates, ensures availability and prompt delivery throughout the UK.

SSQ Del Carmen roofing slate is sourced from the Del Carmen quarry near Leon in north-west Spain. SSQ's long-term partnership with the quarry means it can offer its customers an exceptional product backed by a guaranteed level of performance.

In 2003, SSQ became the principal shareholder in the Represa quarry, La Florida near San Luis in central Argentina. SSQ's investment at Represa Quarry has allowed SSQ Riverstone roofing slate and SSQ Riverstone architectural stone to be marketed internationally.
