MSI became a member of the then known MIA in 2004 and since then, has always been a reliable and generous partner to the association.
What is striking about Shah’s contri- butions to NSI is that he has never offi- cially served on a committee or the board of directors. Yet, he and his company have played key roles in supporting five major initiatives undertaken by the association and other industry groups and has been a consistent donor or motivator to several other NSI programs and events.
Manu was the first to contribute finan- cially and to donate stone for testing during the industry response to the radon crisis. He provided constant input and counsel during the 2-year effort to defend and protect the natural stone industry.
The vast NSI safety training resources enjoyed by stone industry professionals today, including the focus on material han- dling and silica safety, are in large part due to Manu sharing his early vision for our current training library.
He provided visionary direction for the 2013 History of Man and Stone documen- tary, as well as funded nearly 80% of the project, which topped $125,000. No one has done more to support the Natural Stone
