As most of you are aware, we cover North American Quarried Stone a couple of times per year. Whether large or small, each company has its own unique story to share. At the root of all of them is a common thread – a genuine passion for the beauty and sustainability of natural stone.
In this issue, we feature a one-on-one interview with Patrick Perus, CEO of Polycor. Over the years, this Canadian-based stone producer has expanded tremendously. It now owns more than 50 quarries – with new acquisitions occurring regularly. Jason Kamery, Stone World’s managing and group digital editor, recently had the opportunity to talk with Patrick about Polycor’s business philosophy and the company’s commitment to the natural stone industry. You can find the Q&A beginning on page 52. There will also be a podcast posted soon on our website, www.stoneworld.com, with more of their conversation.
