Natural stone's brittleness has driven transport damage and façade risk for over a century. HENGSHENG MARBLE S&T CO. LIMITED's sandwich composite — a honeycomb-aluminium and carbon-fibre mesh bonded to a stone veneer, developed over five years with China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) — delivers six times the flexural strength of a standard slab while cutting panel weight dramatically.

HENGSHENG MARBLE S&T CO. LIMITED's Answer to a Century-Old Problem

Natural stone's brittleness has driven transport damage and facade risk for a century. HENGSHENG MARBLE S&T CO. LIMITED's honeycomb-aluminium + carbon-fibre mesh + stone veneer sandwich, developed over five years with China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), holds 2 invention patents and reaches six times the flexural strength of standard slab.

The process is proven across 12 high-rise facade projects, cutting transport breakage from the industry's ~3% to under 0.3% — and for renovation clients, the lighter panels are markedly kinder to existing structures.
