Established in January of 1985, Shree Ram Granimarmo Pvt. Ltd. (SRGM) has seen steady growth over the past two-and-a-half decades,   and it operates 17 quarries in India, along with its processing facilities.

Since 1992, Krishna Sai Granites Group has concentrated its efforts on being a top producer of Black Galaxy granite, and it is currently focusing on expanding its fabrication capabilities as well.

Haddington Island Stoneworks and Hardy Island Granite are continuing an historic tradition of stoneworking on Haddington Island. Measuring roughly a half-mile in diameter, this bucolic island is located in the Broughton Strait, off the northeast coast of Vancouver Island. The island rises 300 feet above sea level at its highest point, and Alert Bay, a regular port of call, is about four miles east of the island. The distance by water from Haddington Island to Vancouver is approximately 200 miles. At the same time, stone quarrying is also taking place on Hardy Island, located in the Jervis Inlet south of Powell River, British Columbia.

Over the past 60 years, Rock of Ages Corp. has continually developed new and better methods for extracting natural stone.
