One of the main reasons for the growth of the company was the building code that exists in Jerusalem, which requires every new building to be clad with local chiseled stone. As such, the factory had an important role in the development of Israel and Jerusalem over the course of the century. It supplied stones to a range of major projects in Jerusalem, including The Supreme Court, Hadassa Hospital, the plaza in front of the Wailing Wall, the main Jerusalem promenade, the new foreign office building and many more.
The company branched out in the 1980s, when it was one of the first companies to export Jerusalem stone to the U.S. Two of the first U.S. major projects in Jerusalem Stone were the auditorium in the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, and the Holocaust Memorial in Miami, FL.
