Stone Interiors North America announced today that they are joining forces with Vic Green, President and CEO of VIC International, in a relationship that will add a fourth fabrication facility located Knoxville, TN. Stone Interiors-Knoxville will benefit from a highly experienced management team with extensive industry knowledge in natural stone, including fabrication, installation, tooling and equipment. This team is made up of two of the most entrepreneurial and distinct companies that share a passionate vision for the future of the Stone Industry. Kelly Milligan, currently Vice President of operations for VIC International will be responsible for day to day activities in Knoxville and Brett Gowans, currently General Manager of Stone Interiors East will assist with the initial start up of the Knoxville facility.

The management teams for both companies will remain intact and both companies are positioning to support a significant growth in 2008.
