CASSELBERRY, FL -- Maurice Huertas and Emerson Tourne started Custom Stone Creation Inc. three years ago, and the business has already experienced tremendous growth. They currently have 11 people on staff, but they expect that to double by next year. The amount of business the company did in the first half of this year has already exceeded what it completed in all of last year. Custom Stone Creation's activities are centered in the Orlando, FL, metro area, but its market ranges from the Florida panhandle to the Keys, and they have even completed a job for a client in Pittsburgh, PA. According to Huertas, an important factor in the company's success is an exceptional word-of-mouth reputation due to the quality of work and a quick turnaround time. With the continuous increase in business, the company is looking to expand their amount of equipment. "We could never have maintained our level of detail and schedule without our Matrix GSC-2001 gantry saw," Huertas said. "It is a workhorse that never lets us down. We are so satisfied that we are planning for our second, a Matrix Daytona Edge Profile System."
