Polycor generates revenue through direct sales of its natural stone products to business clients, including contractors and retailers, as well as through partnerships with distributors and wholesalers. The company's transaction structure typically involves bulk orders of stone materials, which are priced according to the type, finish, and dimensions of the product. Among their offerings, flagship products include high-quality granite slabs used for kitchen countertops, as well as limestone and marble tiles for flooring and wall applications.
