Emre Basman, CEO & Founder of Armina Stone

Emre Basman is the visionary founder and CEO of Armina Stone, one of the fastest-growing stone fabricators and suppliers in the Mid-Atlantic region. With over 25 years of experience in the stone industry, Basman has built a legacy rooted in craftsmanship, global sourcing, and innovation.

In 2015, Emre launched Armina Stone in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a small team of four and a clear mission—to elevate the customer experience through unmatched service, fabrication excellence, and premium material selection. What began as a single-location operation has grown under his leadership into a thriving enterprise with five locations serving clients across up to 10 states. Today, Armina Stone is home to over 200 associates and is recognized as Pittsburgh’s largest indoor stone gallery and fabricator. It has become a top destination for homeowners, designers, builders, and developers, known for advanced fabrication technology, global stone sourcing, and outstanding customer service.

A passionate traveler and stone connoisseur, Basman personally visits quarries across the globe—from Italy and Brazil to remote corners of the world—to curate one-of-a-kind slabs and rare stone collections for Armina clients. His global supplier network reflects years of relationship-building and his dedication to quality.

Driven by business intelligence and a strong understanding of the design-build industry, Basman has made strategic investments in cutting-edge technology, fabrication equipment, and market expansion. His recent ventures include Armina Stone’s move into the South Florida market with a new facility in Hialeah, and the launch of Armina Luxe—a luxury bespoke kitchen, bath, and closet showroom in Miami’s prestigious Design District.

Armina Stone’s work has been featured on HGTV and honored with awards including “Home Depot Fabricator of the Year” and Cosentino’s “Top Fabricator of North America.” Basman’s leadership blends artistic vision, strategy, and a deep commitment to excellence.
