GranTops Participation
in the 2006 Vitoria Fair
Dirci Borelli Marquart, owner and CEO of GranTops, who accompanied the group of professionals to the Brazil Stone Fair this year, affirms that the Ston’Art Galleria will continue to promote trips to the source like these, for she considers them a wonderful opportunity to educate the industry better about the potential and the wonders of nature available today in the market. “We are proud”, says Dirci, “to offer to our clients the best, the most beautiful and exotic pieces of art from the core of Mother Earth.
God’s own magnificent creations and make them available to be set at the hearth of homes of our clients”. “Each exotic and excentric custom made countertop produced and installed by GranTops”, ads Dirci, “gives us enormous satisfaction and a sense of pride, for when we leave a job site, we know we left behind a monument connecting man back to nature”. Don’t miss the opportunity to join the Ston’Art Galleria on the 2007 trip to Brazil! Make your reservation early by contacting GranTops Public Relations Department at carina@grantops.com.

Brazil Fair Trip - Testimonial

To give you a better idea how the Brazil Fair Trip was, take a look at Gary’s Distelhorst, Vice-President of MIA (Marble Institute), testimonial. Expectations: “Totally exceeded my expectations. From the wonderful hospitality of the show’s sponsors to the friendly Brazilian people and then the outstanding exhibition of stone machinery, it was an outstanding and memorable experience.” Highlights: “For me was the trip tour to the Giallo Veneziano quarry. While the helicopter transportation was very special, it was really the chance to visit one of the world’s most famous quarries that I will remember forever.

The operation was very professional and the site breathtaking.” Conclusion: “It is an effort other major stone fabricators in the US should look closely at and learn from this. Anytime you have an educated customer or client, natural stone will win. Bringing designers to a major and impressive show in the US or in Brazil can only serve our industry’s long term best interest. I applaud the efforts of Stone’Art Galleria by GranTops for their industry-leading program.”

Meet Our GranTops Team

In order to familiarize our employees with you, we decided to use Exotica newsletter as an introducer. Each month you will learn about one department and its team. This month we introduce to you the first contact between GranTops and its costumers. The Sales Department is composed by Barbara Reis, Carina Franca and Elice Esveld. Those three ladies will be happy to help you whenever you need.

Ask for them and they will take care of your needs. Tips from the sales departament: To minimize the time always bring with you the measurements and drawings of your project for us to quote it. A piece of your tile and a door of your cabinet also will help us to find a color to contrast or match.
