The slate industry has been an important part of the economy and culture of Wales , particularly North Wales for many years. Although the industry has declined somewhat in recent years there are still many companies quarrying Welsh slate, especially in the regions of North Wales where there is an abundance of naturally occurring deposits of slate. The slate that is found in Wales is considered by many, particularly those working in the construction industry, to be an especially high quality slate that is ideal for use as a building material. For this reason Welsh slate is in relatively high demand and it is exported to countries all over the world where it is used for a number of applications, notably the manufacture of roofing tiles and kitchen worktops.

If you're considering purchasing some Welsh slate, or some items constructed from this material then you should have no difficultly in locating a stockist of Welsh slate products in your local area. If you live in or near North Wales then you'll find that many of companies who are responsible for quarrying Welsh slate will be more than happy to sell their product directly to the consumer and in some cases they will be willing to offer discounted prices, particularly on bulk orders. Most of these companies are easily contacted over the internet, so don't waste any time in getting in touch with a company who'll be able to provide you with some extremely high quality Welsh slate.
