BEAUTIFUL GRANITE FROM THE CANADIAN SHIELD FORMATION HAS BEEN QUARRIED AND FABRICATED BY THE ROBITAILLE FAMILY, FOUNDERS OF GRANICOR, FOR OVER SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS. FROM ITS ROOTS AS NATIONAL GRANITE IN 1922, TO ITS PRESENT ORGANIZATION AS GRANICOR, THIS FAMILY-OWNED CONCERN HAS EVOLVED INTO ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST ADVANCED GRANITE FABRICATORS.

GRANICOR OPERATES THREE STATE-OF-THE-ART FINISHING PLANTS, INCLUDING 17 GANGSAWS, WHICH EQUATES TO THE LARGEST GRANITE BLOCK SAWING CAPACITY IN NORTH AMERICA. FROM THESE PLANTS COMES A COMPLETE RANGE OF CUT-TO-SIZE GRANITE INCLUDING EXTERIOR VENEERS, COPINGS AND CAPS, TREADS AND RISERS, INTERIOR VENEERS, INTERIOR FLOORING, COUNTER AND LAVATORY TOPS, LANDSCAPE PAVERS, SIGNAGE, MAUSOLEUM FRONTS AND SANDBLAST ENGRAVING. LOCATED CLOSE TO AMERICA'S LARGEST CITIES, GRANICOR OFFERS DEPENDABLE ON-TIME DELIVERY MADE POSSIBLE BY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION.

GRANICOR IS ABLE TO PRICE AGGRESSIVELY DUE TO ITS UTILIZATION OF LARGE, SOUND RECTILINEAR BLOCKS OF GRANITE WHICH ENABLE MAXIMUM EFFICIENCIES IN MATERIAL YIELDS, SAWING, FINISHING AND FABRICATION.

GRANICOR OPERATES 15 GRANITE QUARRIES AND OWNS THE RIGHTS TO APPROXIMATELY 150 DIFFERENT SITES, WHICH MAY BECOME NEW QUARRIES.
