“Constrata actually grew out of what is now Cornerstone Solid Surface, which was started in 1996,†said Jeff Coombs, division manager. “It was created to have a fabrication division of multiple products instead of manufacturing and fabrication of the Cornerstone product in one division. We decided to start in the stone business due to market signs that stone was coming to the forefront of countertops, and we wanted to be in a position to offer our customers what they wanted.â€
In the six years that it has been in operation, Constrata has experienced a significant surge of growth. “Constrata started with a staff of approximately 15 to 20, which included office, shop and field,†said Coombs. “We fabricated and installed two to four kitchens per day. We now have a staff of 80 to 85, and we fabricate and install four to six solid surface kitchens and 12 to 15 granite/quartz kitchens, which is about 750 to 1,000 square feet per day - with one shift."
