At which time he started a business called Simply Stone which launched a new era of stone products with simple application, creating the Mortarless Stone category. The business re-branded as Silvermine Stone and dubbed the “simplest stone in the world to install.” 2008 New ownership acquired the assets of the business and began to re-invent the brand 2019 Stack-N-Tack product line launched which remained as a regional product line until 2019 2009 Silvermine introduces the Ready-to-Assemble Pillar System 2021 Woodgrain (formerly Huttig) begins to distribute Silvermine Stone in New England February 2022 Silvermine Stone launched the Belterra Collection 2020 Tri-State Forest Products agrees to distribute Silvermine in the Mid-West 2021 Silvermine adds automation, Phase 1, to manufacturing facility 2021 Silvermine Stone earns ICC Code Report ESR-4787 May 2022 ABOUT STONE?APPEAL OF STONE CHALLENGES OF MORTAR-APPLIED STONE Prestigious Technically difficult to install Stylish Weather dependent installation Low maintenance & durability Requires skilled-labor Adds curb appeal Long and laborious installation process Increases property value High-Risk installation INDUSTRY T R E N D S INNOVATION Mouse-traps keep getting better and the bar keeps rising.
