The promotion coincided with the introduction of 63” Zodiaq® slabs, which offer a 10-percent to 15-percent increase in yield from its standard size.

“We had a fantastic response from our fabricators and installers to the promotion,” said Luis Arias, C.H. Briggs chief marketing officer. “The three winners’ combined sales growth of Zodiaq® quartz surfaces exceeded 80 percent. This is an outstanding achievement considering the challenging business environment facing the building materials industry, and C.H. Briggs is proud to be partnered with these exceptional organizations.”

The winners were announced during a ceremony at the Corian® Design Studio in Philadelphia.
