• The brand is entering a new stage of growth in the U.S. market alongside one of North America’s leading names in high-end surface distribution.

Neolith and Ciot are pleased to announce a strategic partnership appointing Ciot as the exclusive distributor of Neolith surfaces across select regions in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania.

This move represents the next phase of growth for Neolith in the region, transitioning from a direct distribution model to a partner-led approach designed to scale operations, strengthen local execution, and deliver a higher level of service to the market.

“The growth of Neolith in these markets has been strong, and the next stage requires a model that allows us to scale with greater focus and efficiency,” said Michele Ballarin, CEO of Neolith Americas. “Ciot has a proven track record in slab distribution, a best-in-class operational platform, and deep relationships across the fabricator and design communities. This partnership allows us to expand our reach while elevating the overall customer experience.”

“This new model of partnership is aligned with the Neolith expansion program started almost 1 year ago and focused on joining forces with our main partners worldwide,” said Walter Ceglia, Neolith Group CEO. “From the New Jersey location, Neolith will continue to service customers residing outside the region exclusive to Ciot.”

Under this new structure, Ciot will lead all distribution, logistics, and day-to-day operations within the designated territory. Ciot will continue to operate from its Brooklyn facility while also assuming operations at Neolith’s New Jersey location, creating a dual-location model that significantly increases inventory availability and enables faster, more efficient access to material across the market.

“We are extremely excited to partner with Neolith and bring this opportunity to market,” said Joe Panzera, President of Ciot. “Neolith is a global leader in sintered stone, and this partnership brings together their world-class product with our infrastructure, showroom network, and go-to-market capabilities. By operating from both Brooklyn and New Jersey, we are able to offer deeper inventory, faster fulfillment, and a higher level of service to our customers.”

This partnership reinforces a shared commitment to growth and market leadership, positioning both organizations to accelerate momentum and better serve architects, designers, fabricators, builders, and trade partners across the region.
