October was a busy month for us, as I’m sure for many of you. There were quite a few industry events taking place, and we tried to attend as many as possible.

While we always strive to continually bring our readers, viewers and followers breaking news, information on trade shows and other industry events, as well as relevant stories to both the stone and tile industries, during the past few weeks we have made even greater effort to put together even more content. 

Don and Angela Conte of Structural Stone, LLC in Kingstown, RI, have been named Stone World’s 2022 Fabricator of the Year. The annual awards presentation once again was held during StonExpo, a part of The International Surface Event (TISE), which took place from January 31 to February 2, 2023 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. 

Check out what visitors can expect at this year’s TISE.

As we close out 2022 and wait in anticipation for this year’s Stone World Fabricator of the Year, here is a roundup of the past winners during the last decade.

The past year has proven the stone industry has regained momentum after the pandemic and in-person events resumed to full swing.
