Established in 2005 this is a professional company importing granite and stone and selling primarily to kitchen companies. This business has a thorough understanding of the needs of the domestic market as well as the construction and design industries. They are committed to being at the leading edge of work surface concepts, supplying and installing for domestic, commercial and industrial sectors.
There is no middleman costs involved as the business imports and supplies the worktops direct, making them very competitive price wise but without compromising the quality of their excellent workmanship. They use high quality granite and engineered stone and have fully mechanized plant for fabrication, using only the most modern fabrication techniques and equipment, to ensure that counter tops are machined to perfection.
The business aims to provide a total solution to the product, design and budget requirements for work surfaces or countertops while maintaining a brand synonymous with quality, innovation, and complete customer care. As such they import granite, marble, sandstone, slate stone and lime stone, providing half or full containers of granite, marble and other natural stone, in the form of slabs and tiles and marketing to retailers and fabricators.
The business fabricate units and will also build to templates and will either supply or install at the customer’s site. Although they will sell direct to the end, they are primarily set up to work with the building industry, as a supplier and installer of choice. As such they are an ideal bolt on to an existing company or could appeal to a new owner operator.
