With the close of StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas this month, the stone industry loses a valuable resource with the retirement of Gary Distelhorst, who has served as head of the Marble Institute of America (MIA) for more than a decade. At a time when our industry has been challenged more than ever before, the MIA has protected and bolstered our trade, and Gary’s passion has been front and center over the years.
For more than a decade, Gary Distelhorst (pictured on the right with Stone WorldPublisher Alex Bachrach), worked tirelessly to better the stone industry on an international level.
