Our History

Over four decades of excellence.

Although originally founded by Marcial Amurrio, in 1980 the Amurrio brothers established their U.S. presence and since then Eight Brothers Development has executed numerous important historic restoration projects throughout Washington D.C. and the East Coast. We have also built a plaster manufacturing plant producing the highest quality gypsum molding plaster.

Additionally, Eight Brothers Development is now active in mold fabrication and installation of contemporary and historical recreation design for interior architectural work. Our talented team of artisans creates new crown moldings, rosettes, statues, capitals, and even domes.
