No Comments

Over the course of the recession, perhaps no region of the U.S. has been hit harder than the Detroit Metropolitan Area, and this has been especially difficult for many stone fabrication shops serving this market. One exception to this trend has been PMP Marble & Granite of Troy, MI, which has continually invested in digital and computer-controlled technology to be able to service the upper echelon of residential and commercial clients.

According to PMP owner Harry Partalis, 60% of the company’s work is comprised of very high-end residential work. In addition to kitchen countertops, the company processes stonework for applications such as slab showers, fireplaces, foyers, waterjet-cut patterns and other architectural elements. “We fabricate around 20 to 25 slabs per day,” Partalis said. “For high-end residences, we will also do exterior work, such as limestone. We did one house earlier this year that used 30 containers of Vratza limestone.”
