From Tajikistan · The Roof of the World

In 2015, during a Tajikstan SPA project collaboration, PFM founder Susan Chan built client trust through a strong sense of responsibility, and advanced the partnership from project execution to stone resource development, laying the foundation for subsequent quarry projects.

In our quest for the perfect stone materials, we journeyed to many remote locations—some accessible only by tractor, others with narrow paths flanked by cliffs and steep walls. Our exploration led us across countless terrains until we discovered the White Stone Mountain range in the north.

In 2018, PFM formally signed a quarry cooperation agreement with its partners and mobilized teams to the site, initiating mining operations.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was delayed. To restart the mining project, Susan decided to venture to the quarry alone, and this trip revealed the mine’s boundless potential. The locals, in gratitude for my efforts to advance the project during the pandemic, presented me with gifts, further solidifying my relationship with them.

In 2024, the quarry successfully launched operations, and by June, PFM produced its first batch of stone. Over the years, every time I visit, I make a point to come to the quarry, and it brings me great joy to see it improving continuously.

PFM established the VANJ Marble Processing Factory in Tajikistan, a 40,000 m² facility located 50 km from the Tasso White quarry. The plant enables full-chain production from block processing to finished products, marking a key step in integrating quarry resources with international markets.
