Editor’s Note
Supporting Innovation Since 1995
Welcome to the March 2021 edition of the Slippery Rock Gazette.
This month also marks a milestone for me. It’s my 21st year producing this monthly magazine written for fabricators and shop owners in the stone industry.
Since 1995, the Slippery Rock has delivered stone industry news, education and articles focusing on industry issues like safety, best practices and innovation into shops all across the U.S.
One achievement I’m most proud of is that the Slippery Rock has introduced scores of new products and fabrication innovations to all levels of the stone fabrication community. From start-ups to well-established companies, we have been a showcase for inventors and engineers working to find a better, more efficient and safer way to market, fabricate, and install stone products.
For the remainder of 2021 and beyond, I am extending an open invitation to all you innovators and inventors in the stone industry. As we have so often done over the past two-and-a-half decades, we want to showcase your products, tools, machines, gadgets and software. Contact the Slippery Rock Gazette for more details on how we can help YOU highlight your inventions and tell the industry about YOUR Great Idea.
As always, I welcome your cards, letters and comments. It’s my goal and pleasure to keep the Slippery Rock relevant for fabricators and stone workers, everywhere, every issue.
Enjoy our selection of stone industry articles and news this month. Contact me for more information on this ongoing project.
