The company specializes in kitchen counters and vanity tops for high-end residences as well as multiple pieces for hotels. When it decided to add natural stone to its product selection, it purchased a variety of Marmoelettromeccanica equipment from Regent Stone Products, which is also located in Virginia Beach.
Equipment includes a Marmoelettromeccanica America bridge saw and a Marmoelettromeccanica Master 3500 edging machine. According to Greg Simon, the shop foreman, the bridge saw is particularly useful because of its tilting worktable. The table tilts all the way to the ground, which eases slab loading. Simon reports that two workers can load a slab onto the machine in only 10 minutes. This cuts the overall process of loading and cutting a slab from four hours to two hours, he said.
