Holland Marble Co. expands from fabricating locally to devising a national distrubtion network
Over the years, Holland Marble Co. has expanded from fabricating locally to devising a national distribution network for selling tile and slabs as well as running a limestone mill
For the Holland Marble Co., located in Carrollton, TX, the road to where it is now hasn’t been easy. Just like most fabrication shops, the company started off small, but principal owner Peter Holland saw the path the business could follow. From investing in more machinery, to testing out new products, to taking advantage of opportunities presented, Holland Marble Co. always looks to improve its business model.
The company started in 1986 with one Dallas locations, primarily involved in fabrication and installation of natural stone and ceramic tile for commercial projects. As the business evolved, other divisions were introduced to complement the main business, which became fabrication and installation of natural stone. In 1991, the first international project for the company came to fruition when it completed a large resort hotel in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico. The company supplied all the ceramic and travertine tile, as well as slab floors, walls and countertops. Because of the scope of the work, Holland Marble Co. employed more than 60 workers in Mexico for two years. While doing this project, the company also completed other smaller hotel projects nearby the area. In the following year, Holland Marble Co. began importing, selling, fabricating and installing natural stone slabs, including marble, granite, limestone, slate, soapstone and travertine for residential and commercial projects.
