Once again, Stone World polled fabricators from various-sized shops situated throughout the U.S. in its annual purchasing plan survey conducted by the Market Research Department at BNP Media (Stone World’s parent company).

For those who have been reading Stone World for a while now, you are aware that each January we publish the results of a fabricator purchasing plan survey, which is compiled by the research department at BNP Media, Stone World’s parent company.

As you will see, this issue of Stone World is a bit of a departure from our typical content. While we still include updates on various aspects of the natural stone industry, we have also devoted a portion of the magazine to quartz surfacing, which was a focus for this month.

At the start of each year, Stone World shares its fabricator purchasing plan survey with our readers, which serves as a gauge to how business will fair during the coming year.
