THE HISTORY OF PACIFIC SHORE STONES®
2002
Donald, Marco and Vinny have their first experience with the natural stone industry in Los Angeles. They come to understand the challenges of purchasing and importing high-quality stone into the U.S., and are inspired to improve the process by working closely with quarries in Brazil. Eager to try their hand in the industry, they begin brokering containers to distributors in the U.S and Pacific Shore Stones® became a stone distributor.
