The Schott family has a long history of stone working. In the late 1800s, brothers Nicola and Emidio Scioli emigrated to and settled in the town of Cliffside Park, NJ, where the family’s granite quarry was operated on the Palisades Cliffs. The Schott brothers’ grandfather worked at the quarry as a young boy, and in turn, he took the time to pass the family’s traditions on to the boys. In 1995, Michael and Matthew Schott started Onslow Stoneworks as an extension of an existing glass company. At that time, an opportunity arose to fabricate some prefabricated panels, and from there, the business exploded into custom kitchens in just a few months’ time.
The company produces all types of stone products, as well as all major brands of quartz and solid surface materials for countertops, showers and flooring. Its newest line is Neolith large-format sintered panels for commercial and residential shower panels, which are mainly utilized for countertop and exterior rain screening applications. Principle markets include eastern North Carolina, northern South Carolina and southern Virginia for installed residential products. For commercial projects, the company services the Florida to Washington, D.C.-area.
