Building materials
The production of aggregates and inert materials is one of the core activities of SICS SpA, a historic company headquartered in Priolo Gargallo and operating across a vast territory, including Syracuse and its province, Ragusa and its province, Catania, and Messina. The company provides materials for construction, road, and infrastructure projects, ensuring continuity of supply, regulatory compliance, and quality control. Thanks to over 60 years of experience, SICS operates in the aggregates sector with an organized production structure, capable of meeting the needs of businesses, public entities, and construction industry operators. Direct management of the quarries allows the company to monitor every stage of the process, from extraction to delivery of the finished material.
Limestone quarries and production cycle management
SICS SpA operates limestone quarries duly authorized by the competent mining authority. Mining is conducted in compliance with current regulations, with particular attention to technical, environmental, and safety aspects. The production cycle for aggregates and aggregates is divided into several operational phases, all managed internally. After extraction, the material undergoes crushing, screening, and washing processes to obtain consistent grain sizes suitable for its intended uses. This approach ensures materials suitable for a variety of applications, from roadworks to civil and industrial construction.
Certified quality and regulatory compliance
A distinctive feature of SICS's aggregate and aggregate production is its attention to quality and regulatory compliance. All materials are CE marked and accompanied by a Declaration of Performance (DoP), documents that precisely describe the products' performance and technical characteristics. This control system allows designers, contractors, and project managers to work with traceable and verifiable materials, in compliance with applicable European and national regulations. The availability of certifications and up-to-date technical documentation provides concrete support in managing construction sites and during testing.
