Marble Systems to Expand Virginia Operations
FAIRFAX, Va. — Stone distributor/manufacturer Marble Systems Inc. will invest $9.7 million to expand its operations here.
Virginia Gov. Gleen Youngkin announced Oct. 11 that the company’s plans include the creation of 59 new jobs.
‘Marble Systems’ decision to expand in Caroline County underscores Virginia’s commitment to fostering homegrown businesses,” Youngkin said. “This $9.7 million investment is a win for Virginia’s construction and design industries and cements the Commonwealth’s unparalleled reputation as a hub for high-quality stone product manufacturing.”
“Marble Systems is grateful to the Caroline County Economic Development Department, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership and the Virginia Port Authority for their collaboration and efforts in working with us to make this project come together with a strong portfolio of incentives that will allow us to meet the demands of our growing business and support the economic development and commerce goals of Virginia and the Virginia Port,” said Marble Systems CEO Munir Turunc.
Marble Systems, a leading manufacturer and distributor of premium stone products, specializes in cut-stone and stone-product manufacturing. The company’s expansion of its current 150,000 ft² facility iin Caroline County will include the establishment of a new warehouse and distribution center, as well as facilities for cut stone and stone product manufacturing.
Virginia’s economic-development efforts successfully competed with South Carolina, New Jersey, and Georgia for the project.
“Caroline County welcomes Marble Systems, the national and international leader in architectural and interior design stone products,” said Jeff Blac, chairman of the Board of Supervisors for the Western Caroline district. “Marble Systems brings 42 years of operational excellence to our community as it extends its sales into ever larger markets.”
“By investing in our home state of Virginia, we have achieved an outstanding geographic position that bolsters our ability to serve our distribution and dealer networks and gives us ready access to the Virginia ports and the I-95 corridor,” Turunc added. “And importantly, we will have access to great employee talent for both immediate and future hiring needs.”
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Caroline County and the Fredericksburg Regional Alliance on the project for Virginia and will support job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, which provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs to support employee recruitment and training activities.
The company is also eligible to receive benefits from the Port of Virginia Economic and Infrastructure Development Zone Grant Program.
