UGM OPENS NEW FACILITY IN ILLINOIS . . .

October 1, 2007

Universal Granite & Marble (UGM) recently opened its newest facility in Oswego, IL, which houses more than 350 natural stone slabs in over 50 colors at a convenient location west of Chicago.

At its highest capacity, the Oswego facility provides over 1,000 slabs and more than 100 colors of stone products to meet the growing demand for natural stone.

“To better serve our customers in Chicago’s western suburbs, we felt it was absolutely necessary to build here in Oswego, IL,” said Rakesh Malhotra, UGM’s chief operating officer. “The new facility will offer optimal choices in natural stones at a convenient location for our customers.”

UGM imports a vast array of natural stones from India, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Columbia, Egypt, Israel, Portugal, China, France, Norway, Canada, Turkey and Peru. With its extensive range of suppliers, UGM ensures its customers have access to a year-round supply of granite, limestone, travertine, marble and other natural stones.

UGM-Oswego can be reached at 122B Kirkland Circle, Oswego, IL 60543; Phone 630-851-4533; Fax: 630-851-4527. For additional information, contact Nicole Amber Juarez, Director of Marketing & Advertising at 630-369-4500, or visit the Web site at www.universalgranite.com.
