In 1992, the owners built a new state-of-the-art facility in Neptune Beach, FL, where they continued to fabricate stone by hand until purchasing a CMS/Brembana Maxima four years later. “We purchased the CMS/Brembana Maxima in 1996 to maximize our production schedule and to provide more cubic work for specialty items, such as profiles for fireplace mantels, molding, etc.,†said Eric Williams of Belmarmi.
In August of 1999, the couple was forced to sell the company after Rosanna Dixon became ill. Casa Italiana was on the verge of collapse until they bought it back in September of 2003. According to Williams, the Dixon's missed the business, and since Rosanna had completely recovered, decided to return as Belmarmi, the only artistic company in the area.
