What significant trends do you see in the surface fabrication industry?

The remodeling and new home construction markets continue to grow at impressive rates while labor shortages continue to challenge our industry. As a result, we continue to see a significant shift in manual shops converting to fully digital fabrication which increases their production capacity and reduces their labor needs, while making them more profitable. Park Industries has hosted Digital Stoneworking Events (DSE) since 2007 that focus on taking the guesswork out of what “going digital” means. These events (www.parkindustries.com/events) have provided thousands of fabricators the knowledge and tools to evolve their businesses.
