The Marble Institute of America (MIA) has released the results of its recent Fabricator Benchmarking Survey. The MIA solicited input from North America fabricators during the fourth quarter of 2013. The 2013 study was made possible by a grant received from Cosentino and KOHLER. Each participating fabricator received a confidential report detailing their individual company information with comparisons to the information included in this report. Fabricator participation was free and the report received a record 255 participants, which the association credits to promotions by industry media, as well as collaboration with the International Surface Fabricators Association (ISFA) and Stone Fabricators Alliance (SFA).
While the survey questions were posed to fabricators, the report offers relevant information for suppliers and international companies seeking information about the North American market. The report also highlights key differences between fabricators operating manual versus automated production facilities. The results of this study are posted by the MIA’s Industry Research and Information Department on the MIA’s online industry statistics web portal. An executive summary of the MIA fabricator benchmarking survey results can be downloaded here.
