With a state-of-the-art solar energy system and multiple water treatment systems in place, Stone Quest of Carteret, NJ, is distinguishing itself as an eco-friendly operation
These days, the concept of “going green” has become so popular that it is practically unavoidable in everyday conversation. And while natural stone is an inherently green product, there are some processers that have made it a priority to process it using methods and technology that are as sustainable as possible. One example of this is Stone Quest of Carteret, NJ, which has implemented a high-tech solar energy system as part of an overall philosophy to be as eco-friendly as possible.
The company was founded in 1998, and it processes stone for the architectural, design and builder communities across the East Coast. The principals are Roman Leyzerov and Josef Morchik, who started the company out of a rented trailer and small sub-leased warehouse. Today, Stone Quest’s facilities sit on 100,000 square feet of land, with a 15,000-square-foot warehouse for slab storage and two separate processing units measuring 10,000 square feet each as well as ample exterior space for the storage and production of stone blocks and finished architectural work.
