Cold Spring Granite, which remains a family-owned business, was established in 1898. Through the years, the company has continued to expand and improve its operation. With approximately 1,230 employees today --including a number of third- and fourth- generation craftsmen --the company has over 30 quarries and 24 individual manufacturing facilities in five areas of North America. In addition to Cold Spring, MN, these locations include Marble Falls, TX; Raymond, CA; Lake Placid, NY; and Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba, Canada. The company’s quarries and operations span more than 18,000 acres and occupy over 1.2 million square feet of manufacturing space.
One contributing factor to the success of Cold Spring Granite is the loyalty of its workers. The company has established the Cold Spring Granite Chairman’s Club, which recognizes employees with 25 years or more of service. Currently, there are over 190 employees throughout the company that are members of this elite group. These workers can be recognized by the special green helmets that they wear on the job.
