A BRIEF HISTORY<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Originally known as Canadian Stone Industries, CSI opened its doors in 1992 carrying only one product, Cultured Stone\u00ae manufactured stone veneer. To this day, we are proud to still be the sole distributor of Cultured Stone\u00ae in Canada! Originally founded in British Columbia, our initial focus for the first few years was to establish a network of dealers in Western Canada, get the product into the hands of stone masons, and to educate the architectural, design and residential construction community.\u00a0 We were sure once they learned about and got hands on experience with Cultured Stone\u00ae, they would see its many benefits and become raving fans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Once getting established in Western Canada we then shifted our attention to expanding our reach eastward.\u00a0 We found a warehouse partner in Ontario and eventually established a loyal network of dealers that spanned the entire country. From Vancouver Island to Newfoundland, CSI had a presence!<\/p>\n

As time marched on and trends and technology changed, we continued to add product lines, evolve our product offering and further entrench ourselves in the masonry and building materials industry in Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

More recently, we turned our focus southward and launched our US company known as Continental Stone Industries. Since entering the US market a few years ago, CSI has quickly established a strong presence and cultivated a fantastic dealer network servicing the Western United States.<\/p>\n

It was when we established Continental Stone Industries that we stepped away from publicly identifying ourselves as Canadian Stone Industries in Canada and Continental Stone Industries in the USA, and instead now promote ourselves as CSI - All Things Stone<\/em>. Now, after 30 years in business, CSI - All Things Stone is proud of our:<\/p>\n
