The company began processing stone in 1976, when it purchased the first diamond block saw in the Barre area. “After that, three-dimensional saws were purchased as well as other stone-fabricating equipment,” said Sandra Colgan, one of the company’s principal owners, who serves as Secretary and Treasurer. “In order to accommodate the new machinery and increased sales in manufacturing, in 1984, a new manufacturing plant was erected.”
Among other machinery used in the production of architectural dimension stone are Loeffler 11-foot, 6-inch diamond circular saws from Germany, Thibaut GB 210 shaping saws from France, a Natale-Parma lathe from Italy, a Cary auto slab polisher and grinder, a Spielvogel 920 mm saw from Germany, an Ordway 5-foot diamond saw and thermal flaming equipment.
