Fabricators Unite for Hands-On Learning and Collaboration
ST. CLOUD, MN –Park Industries’ Fabricator Exchange™ (FabX) made its second stop of the year in beautiful Salt Lake City, UT, on Thursday, June 19, 2025. More than 100 fabricators came together for a full day of insight, inspiration and connection. With thoughtful presentations, top-notch shop tours and live machine action, the energy was high and the takeaways were real.
The day’s speakers brought a wide range of ideas and strategies to the table:
· Omar Chahin of GMD Surfaces broke down the concept of Throughput Dollars (T-Dollars) to help fabricators look past square footage and focus on profitability.
· Bill and Dawson Cambell of A-One Solid Surfaces shared their shop’s digital transformation journey, highlighting how they embraced change while keeping a strong focus on family and culture.
· Alan Jorgenson of Bedrock Quartz Surfaces talked through the growth of Bedrock and how they scaled their shop operations to meet demand while staying efficient and forward-thinking.
· Dave Amelotte, CFO of Park Industries gave an economic update with insights into industry trends and what fabricators should be watching for in the months ahead.
Attendees toured two standout local shops, A-One Solid Surfaces and Bedrock Quartz Surfaces, where they saw 15 Park Industries machines in full operation. Among those were the JAVELIN™ CNC Sawjet cutting with precision, plenty of TITAN® CNC Routers shaping/polishing parts and the FASTBACK® II Edge Polisher delivering glass like flat edges with speed.
Seeing the equipment in action gave attendees a real feel for how digital tools can transform a shop’s output and efficiency.
One of the standout moments at Bedrock Quartz was the porcelain workshop, sponsored by Infinity. Fabricators got a close-up look at how to cut, lay out and build with porcelain as the Bedrock team walked through the full process of creating a porcelain sink.
Seeing these techniques applied in a real shop environment gave attendees a clear picture of what is possible with porcelain and how to approach it with confidence.
Sponsors of the event included: alphacam, LPI, FreePower, Infinity, ISFA, Speed Label, Stone World and MFS.
