Environmental Stoneworks Acquires Utah Based Canyon Stone and Installation

DENVER, Colorado (September 2, 2010) – Environmental Stoneworks, the only national manufacturer and installer of stone veneer, announced today the acquisition of Canyon Stone and Installation, Utah’s leading manufacturer and installer of stone and brick veneer. The acquisition bolsters Environmental Stoneworks’ industry position, securing them as one of the top three stone veneer manufacturers nationwide.

The acquisition, finalized today, brings Canyon Stone employees and the existing manufacturing facility in St. George into the growing Environmental Stoneworks family.  The acquisition will strengthen Environmental Stoneworks’ infrastructure in the Southwest region, which includes Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. The addition will also provide a gateway to open new service areas and expand its operational footprint into markets along the West Coast. Currently Canyon Stone and Installation offers turnkey installation capabilities throughout the state of Utah and into Nevada and Idaho.

“Canyon Stone and Installation has a strong position in Utah and the surrounding states with an innovative business model, allowing Environmental Stoneworks to better serve our national customers,” said Charles Stein, President and CEO of Environmental Stoneworks. “This move allows Environmental Stoneworks to solidify our position as the only national turnkey manufacturer and installer of stone and brick veneer.”
Environmental Stoneworks delivers the most efficient stone veneer solutions to the construction industry. By packaging together manufacturing and installation to builders and commercial property owners, the company has created a single point of contact for customers and delivers the most competitive offering with a “one stop solution.”  This combination of product manufacturing, regional distribution and installation via specially trained professionals will further drive down costs for builders and remodelers.

“Our existing footprint, combined with Environmental Stoneworks’ focus on manufacturing and installation, will prove extremely beneficial to our customers,” added Gaylen Hunt, President of Canyon Stone and Installation, who will now serve as Vice President and General Manager of the Western region. “Our culture and business goals are a great fit, and we believe our customers will quickly realize Environmental Stoneworks’ commitment to delivering the finest products and services at a great value. We are glad to be a part of Environmental Stoneworks’ growth plans.”  The combined entity will continue to operate the manufacturing plant in St. George, Utah and manage installations from the St. George and Salt Lake City locations.
