As a small child in elementary school, Plazza would help out around his parents’ shop, and after high school he signed on as a full-time employee. Then, from 1990 to 2006, he served as shop manager for the company before setting out on his own. In January of 2007, he and Kinsel, who also worked at Tile World of Italy, decided to begin their own company, and thus, Watermark Design Technologies was born.
Currently, the company operates two separate departments - a waterjet division for producing medallions and inlays, and a fabrication division for countertops. The 3,000-square-foot waterjet division is equipped with a HammerHead™ waterjet from Calypso Waterjet Systems, Inc. of Dallas, TX, as well as a Luciano Biacchi radial arm polisher, which was purchased from Eastern Marble and Granite Supply Inc. of Scotch Plains, NJ.
