According to market sources industry analysts expect the phenomenal growth in natural stone industry to continue, Fuelled by a revival in the demand for natural stone in the last decade or so, the industry has seen sharp rises in output production. For the first time in its history, natural stone is everywhere - from public buildings, public works like roads and parks to airports and hotels, offices and private homes. This is partly due to increased demand for commercial space and architectural cost efficiency afforded by natural stone today, but also in great measure due to high quality, value added products on offer aided by successful awareness campaigns by the industry.

This high demand is reflected in the increased levels of output production, enhanced using sophisticated quarrying techniques. Advanced fabrication and finishing tools have done their bit to provide high quality products and imports from the world over increase revenues for most operators within the industry.

Today’s stone industry is a far cry from the limited one in existence as recently as 25 years ago. Nowadays, stone from Africa, The Middle East, India, China and The Far East competes actively with North American and European stone. Local producers compete with lower-priced stones from countries like China and India, with their reduced labor costs.

We are pleased to add SileStone?to our line of products. After you select a color and edge in our showroom, we measure the job, and create a template for your order. Fabrication is done in Houston from material manufactured at the Cosentino facility in Spain. As a distributor of SileStone? Bolfing Brothers Marble Inc.抯 trained employees will install the material. You have a choice of materials, but with each you are choosing a company whose service and quality you know. We take care of business and we want yours.
While this augurs well for consumers, pushing stone prices down across the board, it has caused concern among some stone companies, who foresee drastic reductions in their margins, making it inefficient for them to operate their businesses. Most insiders, however, see increased competition as an opportunity to provide better service to their customers, and expand their services across a broader section of community, and indeed the world. While it is true that increased competition reduces margins, the resulting higher turnover actually increases revenues, allowing the bottom line to remain healthy.

SileStone?is a strong and beautiful quartz surface quite different from either natural granite, cultured marble, or solid surface materials. Most often used in kitchen applications, SileStone?is also appropriate for vanities, showers and floors. It is a superior surface composed of natural quartz, with the best features of natural stone and few of the limitations. It is an extremely hard surface, heat resistant and stain resistant. Durable, neither layered like slate nor permeable like granite, or porous like real marble, it has a virtually indestructible shine that never needs sealing. Custom kitchen counters are fabricated from large slabs with various edges and minimal seams.
Additionally, increased competition generates a innovation. Competition is here to stay. It is a fact of our lives.  It drives us to invent better, more cost effective methods to counter competition from imports; to discover newer methods, and to combine them with existing ones. Free global trade can benefit the industry.

For example, there is tremendous market potential in Eastern Europe, in countries like Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Slovenia, where local resources do not meet high demand. European and American markets can compete effectively here due their high-end products and impeccable standards of value-added service. But Europe’s demand for stone is in fact higher than its supply, and its increase in production over the last few years does not match world levels. This clears the way somewhat for dealers in America to target markets in East Europe and other high-end niche markets in the rest of the world. But the EU is looking at boosting production, while it continues to promote natural stone and develop new standards of testing. It will catch up, sooner or later.

Here in America, the ASTM is actively engaged in providing newer definitions and establishing tests for all types of stone available, including imports. Efforts are underway to establish International testing norms for quality and facilitate end-use. Within the industry, awareness campaigns and new marketing strategies are on the drawing board to compete effectively globally.
 
 
Additionally technology discovers newer methods of adapting natural stone to more innovative applications. The evolution of natural stone from its ancient rock beds and quarries is closely entwined with humankind’s zest for innovation - embedded in the history of technology. From granite blocks in the 5000-year-old pyramids to industrial vats storing acids and crushed granite in road construction, natural stone has come a long way.
 
 
Technology, environmental awareness, competitive pricing, growing, high-end markets overseas and above all the beauty and inherent properties of natural stone all bode well for growth of the stone industry. Industry analysts are optimistic about the future – the growth potential is enormous in the next 10- 15 years or so.
