Matiera, the French materials specialist
After 30 years of expertise in the shaping of materials, ORSOL has taken a new step forward by joining forces with the Vianne quarry, a listed French quarry of exceptional natural stone.
This major merger is an opportunity to redefine our offering and create the MATIERA group.
Our aim is to offer a wider choice of cladding materials: low-carbon Neomineral under the ORSOL brand, natural stone under the NOVIROC brand and terracotta under the BRIKELIA brand.
Innovation in the service of materials
The emotion of materials
Today, the MATIERA Group is made up of three brands of unique materials that are durable, aesthetically pleasing and emotionally appealing, providing the right covering solutions for your projects.
The spirit of innovation
We are constantly innovating to guarantee the quantity and technicality of our materials, while adapting them to current needs.
In 2024, we developed the Neomineral material, enabling ORSOL to offer low-carbon products across its entire range.
Our commitment
To French industry: our manufacturing sites are located in south-west France
To low-carbon manufacturing: by favoring short supply chains, we guarantee that 99% of our suppliers are French.
With the creation of the MATIERA Group, we have created a unique fusion of know-how in favor of innovation, while remaining true to our values: the demand for quality and a commitment to local, low-carbon manufacturing. We offer a diversity of materials with a common goal: to bring the emotion of materials to today’s construction.

Our other BRANDS
BRIKELIA natural clay bricks bring a special emotion to walls. Often associated with an industrial spirit, they are a genuine decorative element in cozy or contemporary interior settings.
The bricks in the VINTAGE line are authentic old bricks (50 to 100 years old) sawn into facings to create warm, lively atmospheres. Each vintage brick is unique in its relief, texture and nuances. Each has its own story to tell. They add real soul to a contemporary setting.
The Vianne stones in our NOVIROC collection come from a thousand-year-old quarry in southwest France. This high-quality, frost-resistant and rot-proof limestone is appreciated for its natural beauty, durability and timeless elegance. It has been used to build many remarkable edifices, such as the foundations of the Pont de Pierre in Bordeaux and the Château de Nérac in the Gers region.
In June 2024, Vianne stone was awarded its geographical indication (GI) by theINPI.
