Vetrazzo
From WikiCover
Vetrazzo transforms recycled glass into artful surfaces for home or commercial applications including countertops, tabletops and walls. Invented and first produced in 1996 by Counter Production, Vetrazzo surfaces enable customers to showcase their individual sense of style and respect for the environment. Vetrazzo surfaces use only recycled glass, in a patent-pending formulation comprised of 85% recycled glass by weight. Vetrazzo is made in the United Sates.
Announced November 9, 2007, Vetrazzo has partnered with two new distributors, dramatically expanding their distribution network. Vetrazzo, a California-based company, has signed deals with both North Star Surfaces and Pental Marble and Granite to provide distribution of their product to more than fifteen new markets across the United States. (Homeowners, architects, and designers that aren't in an area where Vetrazzo has a distribution network can still get the product directly from Vetrazzo.)
North Star Surfaces, based in St. Paul, Minnesota, will offer Vetrazzo distribution to its Midwest markets in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. North Star prides itself on being adept at seeing trends as they develop, and views Vetrazzo as the ideal product to meet the developing customer demand for a green surface material. This demand is reflected in the latest growth projections for the green building products market - projected to grow at a rate of up to 30% or more in 2007.
Also signing on with Vetrazzo is Pental, one of the largest surface material distributors in the Pacific Northwest. Pental is adding Vetrazzo to their Eco-Line, a group of sustainable products designed for the environmentally-conscious consumer.
Vetrazzo headquarters: Richmond, California with dealers and fabricators across the United States
