During a Fabricator Forum at Coverings in Las Vegas, NV, Joey Marcella of Mario & Son in Liberty Lake, WA, outlined what fabricators need to know about transitioning to cubic work
Among the questions asked to a panel of stone industry veterans during a Fabricator Forum, held at Coverings in early April, were: What sets you apart in the industry? What makes you exceptional? This sparked Joey Marcella to think about his own business, Mario & Son in Liberty Lake, WA, which in addition to fabricating countertops has found a fruitful niche in producing three-dimensional stone pieces.
“When those questions were posed to us, I thought about what I could talk about,” Marcella told the audience. “I have been on a couple of these panels over the years. I have sat in the audience on many over the years, and they always seem to gravitate towards the same things: porcelain, quartzite problems and things like that. So I wanted to talk about something different today, which kind of relates to what I do with my company. It could be a lot of opportunities that are missed, I think, for a lot of people.”
