Nine years later, the couple moved their growing operation to Southern, California and began to grow MSI full time. Today, the Orange, Calif.-based company operates 50 branch locations, a company-owned truck fleet and services most of North America in 48 hours or less.
Over the years, the company has expanded its inventory well beyond natural stone, Today, the company offers flooring, quartz, wall tile, hardscaping, turf and more. Many of them are in-house brands, such as W™ Luxury Genuine Hardwood, Q™ Premium Quartz, Rockmount™ Stacked Stone Panels, Arterra® Porcelain Pavers, Evergrass® Artificial Turf, Everlife® Waterprof Flooring and more.
Both Q Premium Natural Quartz and Premium LVT are produced at MSI facilities in the United States, although the company also imports products from more than 37 countries on every continent except Antarctica.
