CCS Stone is family owned, and principals include brothers Jonathan Mitnick, Bryan Mitnick and Corey Mitnick, along with their father, Don Mitnick. After spending many years in Garfield, NJ, the company moved into its current facility several years ago, which features five overhead cranes and allows room for expansion. “It actually started out of necessity for fireplaces and such,†explained Jonathan Mitnick, who added that the company also had a saw on site for cutting samples. “Once we decided to add a larger saw, we had the capacity to accommodate our customers' requests. Also, as many of the fabricators became direct importers [of stone], fabrication became a vehicle to sell our own inventory.â€
Bridge saws at the shop include the GMM Eura, which can be equipped with blades up to 625 mm in diameter and has a 20-hp motor. The company also has a GMM Tecna, which can be equipped with blades up to 725 mm in diameter and has a 30-hp motor. The Tecna model also features increased automation. In addition to the GMM saws, the company still utilizes the original M2 saw that it purchased when it first began fabricating.
