Cambria, Breton: U.S. Quartz Exclusive

LE SUEUR, Minn. – Cambria, the sole U.S.-based producer of quartz surfaces, will continue its exclusivity through 2012.
Cambria expanded its partnership in February with Breton S.p.A., the Castello di Godego, Italy-based manufacturer of equipment for producing quartz surfaces.
“This is a major move for both companies and we are pleased to have further established the U.S. exclusivity of this unique and world-leading technology with Breton,” said Martin Davis, Cambria’s CEO and president. “Breton S.p.A. and the Toncelli family are the world leaders in the technology surrounding quartz surfacing and other stone materials. We are pleased to be their only U.S. technology partner.”
To accommodate Breton’s newest quartz-processing technology, Cambria doubled the size of its facility in Le Sueur to 300,000 ft². The company has begun production on the new line and will be operating the completed line later this year, more than doubling Cambria’s supply of quartz surfaces.
“This really secures a strong, quality supply channel for our very important fabricator partners throughout the United States,” Davis said.
Cambria remains the only domestic producer of quartz surfaces. Other products sold in the United States, produced with Breton technology, come from a variety of countries, such as Canada, the Czech Republic, Israel, Italy, Korea, Spain and Turkey.
