Benefits of Partnering with a Domestic Stone Veneer Supplier

Manufactured stone veneer has long been a popular choice among builders for its predictability and ease of use. It’s also quick to install and very cost effective, making it a compelling option for all kinds of projects.

But chances are you already know stone veneer is in high demand – what you want to know is whether partnering with a supplier makes sense for your business. In this article, we’ll lay out the main reasons why you’d want to become a stone veneer distributor so you can determine if it’s right for you.

Key Advantages of Domestic Manufactured Stone Veneer

Distributing stone veneer doesn’t just open up your business to a hungry market; it also carries additional benefits that can improve your operations and strengthen your brand image. Here are some of the advantages you can expect when partnering with a domestic stone veneer supplier like Casa di Sassi.

Reliable Supply Chain

A secure supply chain is one of the biggest perks of a domestic stone veneer supplier. When your products are manufactured entirely in the US, you don’t have to worry about backorders, delays or long lead times, all of which are far too common with overseas suppliers. Instead, you can rely on your domestic supplier to deliver your orders on time and keep your operations running smoothly. You also avoid running into geopolitical issues and other importing disruptions that can also reduce reliability.

Consistent Quality

Ensuring the quality of imported veneer can be challenging whether you’re sourcing from one country or several. Logistically, it can be nearly impossible to maintain consistency, especially when you can’t get much information about a supplier’s quality control procedures. With a domestic supplier, you’ll often get higher manufacturing standards and more rigorous quality control. The supply chain is shorter, so there are fewer roadblocks that affect quality.

Responsive Support and Expertise

International supply chains are notorious for creating communication problems. Most international suppliers are several time zones away, and this alone can cause significant delays. On top of that, if you and your supplier speak different languages, you’ll have to use translation tools that aren’t always accurate. By stark contrast, a domestic supplier will never be more than a few hours off from your time, and you’ll have direct access to a team of experts who can help you keep things moving.

Supporting Local Economies

Shopping small is a great way to support quality-focused businesses. We’re proud to be a small, family-run business because – unlike huge international suppliers – we’re able to put our time and attention into delivering the highest quality products and the best customer experience. By partnering with Casa di Sassi, you’re not just supporting us; you’re supporting our local economy in Apple Creek, Ohio!

Reduced Transportation Timelines and Costs

If you’ve ever imported materials, you know that it can take weeks or even months for your order to arrive, and those shipping costs quickly add up. This also increases lead times and puts your order at greater risk of getting lost along the way. Domestic supply chains sidestep this problem with shorter, less costly transportation that gets your goods to you faster.

Enhanced Sustainability

An advantage of domestic trade is that it doesn’t have to travel across an ocean – cutting down on overall transportation energy consumption and emissions. This is a big point for distributors and builders who are passionate about creating sustainable projects. The closer you are to our Ohio facilities, the more sustainable your orders are!
