After a year of doing strictly installation work, Genuine Stone Tops of Denver, CO, started fabricating stone in January 2001, and it produced stone for two or three kitchens per week with skillsaws and hand edging tools. Five months later, the company bought a Park Industries Pro-Edge III, which resulted in a fivefold revenue increase for the granite and marble countertop fabrication shop.

"We have been slammed with work," said Neil Steeves, owner of Genuine Stone Tops. "Since purchasing the Pro-Edge, Genuine Stone Tops has steadily expanded. We currently have a second Pro-Edge being delivered, and we also have a Park Cougar bridge saw."
