The Stone Fabricators Alliance officially launched its new Web site during StonExpo. The Web site is dedicated to helping fellow stone fabricators learn through the exchange of information in a forum-based blog. The Stone Fabricators Alliance (SFA) is a member-driven organization made up of stone fabricators, stone restoration professionals, vendors and equipment manufacturers that come together to discuss how to improve the natural stone industry. The new site can be found at www.stonefabricatorsalliance.com.
