POWAY, Calif. – San Diego Granite is the newest member of the Artisan Group, a national organization of independent countertop fabricators.

San Diego Granite has also landed “Business Hall of Fame” plaudits two years in a row. The shop is outfitted with the latest machinery from Park Industries, and they hosted a recent Park Digital Expo.

“San Diego Granite is such a power player in Southern California, where Artisan Group had a void, so this is a perfect match for our group because of business mentality and geography,” says Chad Seiders, Artisan Group Executive Director.

“We are proud to be a part of the Artisan Group because of their reputation,” Mullett says. “We are very busy with commercial and residential work, but there’s one project coming up that we are looking forward to contributing to – the Tony Gwynn memorial site that will be placed near the baseball diamond at Lake Poway. It’s an exciting thing we’re doing for the community.”

San Diego Granite makes time to give back to the community through organizations like Best Buddies, and fundraising for several youth sports teams throughout Rancho Bernardo, Calif., and Poway, Calif.

San Diego Granite’s showroom is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturday by appointment only. For more information, call 858-486-2040, visit at 13026 Stowe Drive, Suite C, in the Poway Business Park, or www.sdginc.net.
