To support the expanding Home Depot business, he keeps his CNC processing equipment and six bridge saws and polishers - all from Marmo Meccanica USA -- running all day long. Wilbedone produces 12 kitchen countertops each day in its 18,000-square-foot building. The company has handled Silestone for Home Depot for more than three years, and business keeps increasing. Beames estimates his business has grown 35% this past year alone.
Although kitchen countertops and islands are the majority of his business - about 80% - Wilbedone also processes Silestone for bathroom vanity tops, table tops, lobby flooring, reception area walls, shower stalls, fireplace surrounds and other residential and commercial applications.
