CLEVELAND, OH -- The Marble Institute of America (MIA) has released its 2013 Fabricator Benchmarking Survey, which was sponsored by Cosentino NA and Kohler Co. The 2013 survey had a record number of participants, due largely to wide-spread industry support. Participation in the survey was available free to all fabricators in North America, and the resulting report allows fabrication companies to compare their firm with firms of similar size. The MIA is using the data derived from the survey to create a one-of-a-kind web portal that contains statistical data, design trends, housing information and more.
While the survey questions were posed to fabricators, the report offers relevant information for suppliers and international companies seeking information about the North American market. The report also highlights key differences between fabricators operating manual versus automated production facilities.
