All,
In mid-August I inquired about a company in Mexico named Lui-Art who manufactures and markets marble and granite products. There was no one in the forum that had done business with them. After doing some investigation, I would like to report that you may not have been doing business with them, but you have more than likely been selling their products.
They are the key marble supplier to some of our industries most popular names such as Norwood, R.S. Owens, Art Crystal, Innocast Execuline, Creative Modeling, Bruce Fox, Quarry International, AAA Glass, among others.
They are getting very close to setting up a distribution center in the United States. They would not disclose the exact location, but they have acquired the space to handle business domestically for us.
I ordered and received a piece last week in an effort to check the quality of thier marble, cuts and bevels. With no exageration, it was the best I have seen in all three categories.
In my correspodence with the president of the company, he indicated that they produce nearly 500 different designs. He is currently working on a custom design for a regional insurance client of mine.
I am eager for their move into the U.S. It will be much easier to do business with them.
They seem very eager and service oriented. They have the capabilities to really shake up the high-end award market.
I like the thought of having some new creative marble designs to offer my customers.
