Company Description
Tennessee Marble Company was formed in 1993 and is managed by a staff of individuals totaling more than 100 years of experience in quarrying, fabricating and selling building stone. These Tennessee quarries had supplied Tennessee Pink marble for the Washington Monument and our nation’s Capitol in the 1830’s. During the intervening decades the warm, rich colors of Tennessee marble adorned numerous national and state monuments, including the Tennessee State Capitol, the US Post Office in Knoxville, the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian Institute, the Jefferson and Lincoln Monuments, and the National Cathedral.
The Decline of construction in the years leading to the depression of the 1930’s was painful to the industry and the few quarries that survived were shut down by foreign competition and the building slowdown of the 1980’s. No real substitute was found for this uniquely American stone. Since 1993 Tennessee Marble Company has acquired or leased 6 quarries (including the acquisition of Tennessee Valley Marble in March 2007). Tennessee Marble Company is now the largest fabricator of domestic marble, and the country’s sole supplier of Tennessee Marble. Using the most modern tools and technology we can once again offer this famous American stone in quantity for restoration and renovation of existing structures as well as for new commercial, residential, and government construction.
