Our Story

Ato Gebremedhin Gebremariam

Founder and CEO, Selam Terranite & Terrazzo

"We steadily improved our processes and product quality, helping us build a solid reputation."

I began my journey working in various trading sectors for the past 45 years, where I honed my skills and gained valuable experiences, particularly in ceramic tiles. My career took a significant turn when the government provided me with the opportunity to venture into manufacturing. Seizing this opportunity, I was able to construct my first specialized Terrazzo manufacturing factory in 2006 G.C. Starting operations with a team of 10 dedicated staff and family members equipped with perseverance and a strong work ethic, we began to see the fruits of our labor. We steadily improved our processes and product quality, helping us build a solid reputation.

"The backbone of our success is our strong work ethic aided by the use of industry-leading technology. Particularly, the use of Italian and German machinery has helped us in the production of our new product, Terranite. Manufactured with high-end technology to match the qualities of natural granite, Selam Terrazzo offers Terranite in dimensions reaching 60x60cm."

Today, we boast three fully operational factories, each equipped with industry-leading technology that propel us to the forefront of the Terrazzo manufacturing sector. Each of our factories was built using the latest technology of the time. This allowed us to manufacture exceptional products. Our success is driven by our dedication to incorporating the latest trends in the industry. We continuously invest in the latest technology and staff training to ensure we remain leaders in the sector. Our team works tirelessly to meet and exceed industry standards.
