BB Industries was once again one of the main stone industry companies presenting at The International Surfaces Event (TISE) in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. BBI was a Gold Sponsor of TISE, and their booth was positioned right at the front of the Stone section of the show as you walked in, allowing them to greet and meet the many people who attended the event. 

The attendance was great this year and the overall participation from other stone industry pros was also strong. Many people who came by the BBI booth got to see a nice selection of tools on display, and were able to talk with the BBI experts about the select tools on display, and how they can benefit stone fabricators. BBI also had stainless steel and porcelain sinks on display and their position on the event floor allowed them to be the first distributor being approached by those interested in sinks and their general product offering. Sharing the booth space with BBI this year were presentations from Poseidon, IMS, IPS/Integra, RYE Corp, the Rockheads, and WEHA.

The second day of the show had a slightly larger crowd of attendees. One well-attended venue was the Stone Fabricator’s Alliance (SFA) Booth, where stone industry pros had a chance to exhibit and talk about featured products. BBI was there talking about a new respirator available to the market, manufactured by Swiss Air. 

It was also the day that Women in Stone (WIS) held its 4th Annual Amazing Race. This event is a great way to explore the Natural Stone Pavilion, meet fellow women in the industry and expand your network. BB Industries was honored to be a part of this race as a Sponsor and one of the stops for the groups participating in the Amazing Race.

On Thursday evening of the show, BBI once again hosted their Partner Appreciation Party at the House of Blues, in Mandalay Bay. This year’s party was bigger and louder than ever before, with a great live band, Empire Records, performing awesome tunes from the past and present on the stage for everyone to see and enjoy, and even dance to. According to attendees, the party was popping, the guests were dancing, the food and drink (and adult beverages) were flowing. BBI went above and beyond to make sure that everyone who came to their party had a great time. BBI is certainly gaining a reputation for throwing the best party for stone fabricators at TISE.

Since its beginning in 1994, BBI’s philosophy has been to offer the best customer service in the industry and the best value stone fabrication products. We are right there for our customers through all phases of business with education, training, and support from CNCs to blades. Our vendors and customers are valued partners.
