  1. The first in Italy to produce Leca expanded clay, for over 55 years we have produced materials for the building industry, green areas and infrastructures for construction and the renovation of existing buildings with respect for the environment and those who live in it.
  2. Laterlite expanded clay is entirely Made in Italy, the result of a controlled process that adopts state-of-the-art technologies with the aim of achieving maximum possible efficiency at every stage of the production cycle.
  3. We enjoy long-standing collaboration with suppliers and skilled labourers in local communities who are inspired by the same ethical values that our company has always promoted.

Our products are the result of a controlled process that adopts state-of-the-art technologies for maximum efficiency and sustainability at every stage of the production cycle.

Hi, my name’s Leca, I’m a ball this very strong on the outside and very light on the inside.
I am natural because I am made of earth, a special earth that grows up to 5 times bigger. I protect you from the summer heat and the winter cold, because I am insulating and I make your home safer and more resistant to earthquakes.
Time doesn’t count for me because I stay young forever, I never change with time and I am 100% recyclable and reusable.

We see a way of living and building centred on attention to the needs of man and his surrounding environment.
This is why research and innovation are part of our DNA: continual improvement of production processes, the sustainability of our products and solutions for constructing and renovating existing buildings are the cornerstone for development of Laterlite activity
