Maristo Corporation

Congratulations! Branding. Was 'Maristo' originally a series name?! The main business was selling high-value-added building materials such as marble inlay and mosaics, traditional Italian crafts, and exterior wall materials for construction, handled by Abelko Corporation. It all started when the series of Italian crafts was trademarked as 'Maristo.'

The huge hit of 'Andalucia'! From this time, Italian tiles began to appear in the Japanese market. At that time, 300-square tiles were called 'large format tiles,' and their recognition in construction was low, making them somewhat avoided on site. Maristo launched a 300-square tile called 'Andalucia' suitable for external floors. It became a hit product with standard adoption by major house builders and achievements such as adoption in the environment of 'Mosaic Mall Kohoku.'

600-square tiles become standard. Responding to the era's demand for larger imported floor tiles, Maristo launched 'Quality Quartz,' which was adopted at 'Ecute Shinagawa' and then in many other projects. From this time, large-format 600-square tiles became common.

First presentation room opened. A presentation room was established in Oji, Kita-ku, Tokyo, where customers could see and hold actual tiles.
