3D Stone Certified as Woman-Owned Company

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Limestone fabricator 3D Stone Inc. is now Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) certified as a woman-owned business.

Lily SendekTo be eligible for WBE certification, a woman must own, manage, and control at least 51% of a business entity and be a U.S. citizen or legal resident. In addition, she must serve as president or ceo (if both positions exist), have ownership and an officer position for at least six months, and be active in daily management.

3D Stone owner Lily Sendek fits all of the above criteria.

3D Stone, which recently reached the milestone of 25 years in business, is one of the largest and most-reputable sources of architectural limestone, the company delivers exceptional professional guidance, quality and craftsmanship on a full spectrum of developments including large scale commercial projects, residential projects, and unique landscape projects.

With a fully enclosed 52,000 ft² facility, 3D Stone fabricates high volumes of products in a time-sensitive manner year-round. While cut stone is a primary focus, the company also specializes in custom slabbing, splitface veneer and tumbled rubble.

WBE accreditation, managed by the National Women Business Owners Corporation (NWBOC), enables contractors to receive credit for partnering with minority-status companies when creating projects for government entities or others requiring such participation. 3D Stone’s WBE certification qualifies the company under minority status.

“3D Stone couldn’t be more proud to be certified and have the support of the WBE, an organization that continues to advance women’s professional endeavors,” Sendek said. “While women owned businesses comprise a small share of the American economy, we are vitally important to the growth and future of our society.

“In the last year and a half, we have made significant investments in our future that support not only the economy and women within the stone industry, but developments that have led to 3D Stone’s enhanced capabilities.”
