Bestone® stands out for its exceptional homogeneity, hardness, and resistance to crushing—properties that are essential for the ballast bed due to the high loads it has to bear. Thanks to this intrinsic quality and the advanced crushing, screening, and double-sided washing process at Graniet Import Benelux, Bontrup supplies Bontrup highest quality washed railway ballast.

Bestone® meets the strictest European standards for rail ballast and is separately certified by both ProRail and Deutsche Bahn.

The capacity and flexibility of Graniet Import Benelux and Bontrup logistics chain Bontrup 100% delivery reliability, both for small and very large volumes, just-in-time. Bestone® is delivered by inland waterway vessel, by truck, or by train, depending on the project requirements.

Bontrup already supplied large quantities of railway ballast in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland, and more than 300,000 tons internationally for, among others, the Tren Maya project in Mexico.
