About us
Limestone factories of Estonia OÜ, which processes natural stone, is one of the oldest natural stone miners and processors in Estonia.
Paekivitoodete Tehase OÜ
One of the predecessors of the company, which was created by the merger of two companies in 2022, was Paekivitootode Tehas OÜ. Operating since 1959, Paekivitootode Tehase OÜ has been the largest limestone aggregate producer in Estonia for many years, producing up to 30% of the local market volumes. After privatization, the company has continuously adopted and implemented new technologies, such as blast-free limestone crushing with hydraulic hammers or residue-free production using water treatment technologies. Over the years, unique products and materials have been introduced to the market, which significantly increase the choice of local building materials and at the same time allow the company to implement environmentally friendly production.
Väo quarry and innovative solutions
Thanks to cooperation with universities and international contacts, the factory has consistently sought and implemented innovative solutions. Over the past ten years, Väo quarry has acquired a CDE limestone screening washing line, a Fraccaroli&Balzan filter press, a Haver Hydroclean washing unit, a high-pressure washer for small fractions, a Benninghoven unbound mixture line, and in 2016 a CAB limestone screening washing line was added. All of the aforementioned equipment together form one technological line, which allows for the full use of the extracted mineral resources and, for the first time in Estonia, makes the use of limestone residue-free.
Modern European company
As a result of the use of the aforementioned technologies and technological solutions, Limestone Factories of Estonia OÜ not only continues to operate, but it has changed from a technically and technologically underdeveloped "Soviet" company to a modern European company. Despite the setbacks that hit the company during the economic crisis, we have been able to increase investments in new technology more than five times and we continue to be the technical leader in our sector. In order to produce high-quality material, we have invested in both technology and employee training, and we have a modern laboratory that performs quality control for each issued batch.

The quarries are located in Saaremaa (Kaarma and Selgase dolomite, Gasell limestone), Tallinn (Reval limestone) and Märjamaa (Orgita dolomite).
Saaremaa dolomite and Tallinn limestone
Due to its good workability and weather resistance, grave monuments, gateposts, balustrades, cornices, portals, columns and fireplaces have been made from Saarenaa dolomite. Today, dolomite is used to finish many representative buildings in Tallinn, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Riga, Vilnius and many other cities.
Tallinn (Reval) limestone has been used for centuries as a good building stone in the old towns of Tallinn and St. Petersburg. Today, Tallinn limestone is increasingly used in interior decoration. Floors finished with Reval limestone tiles can be found in all the Baltic countries, Scandinavia, Russia, Poland, Germany, England and elsewhere.
