Triton Stone Group

What Triton Stone Group does

Triton Stone Group is a New Orleans-based, privately held importer and distributor of natural stone and complementary building products, founded in 2006 by the Jensen Family in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The company sources granite, marble, and quartzite slabs directly from quarries in Brazil, Italy, Turkey, and Vietnam, and distributes engineered surfaces (Crescent Quartz, Vicostone, Revolux), natural stone and porcelain tile, sinks and faucets (Kohler, Crescent Sinks), fabrication tools, and custom-sourced specialty stone. It operates a hybrid distribution model: stone slabs are sold exclusively wholesale to licensed fabricators who handle cutting and installation, while tile, sinks, and decorative surfaces are sold direct to homeowners, designers, architects, and builders through 22 retail Slab & Tile Galleries. Supporting infrastructure includes Fabricator Supply Centers (Atlanta, Charlotte) and Regional Distribution Centers (Harahan LA, Houston TX, Newport News VA).

Direct peers

• Stone Source: Stone Source is a national importer and distributor of natural stone, porcelain, and ceramic tile targeting the architectural and design community. It is directly comparable to Triton's design consultant and showroom-led model in major U.S. metros.
• Bedrosians Tile & Stone: Bedrosians is a family-owned tile, stone, and hardscape distributor with showrooms and distribution centers across the Western U.S. It mirrors Triton's combination of imported natural stone, engineered surfaces, and design-focused retail showrooms serving homeowners, designers, and builders.
• Emser Tile: Emser Tile is a major national tile and natural stone distributor with a large multi-region showroom network. It competes directly with Triton's tile and slab retail showrooms and serves a similar designer/builder/homeowner customer base.
• Marble & Granite Inc: Marble & Granite Inc is a U.S. importer and distributor of natural stone slabs with a fabricator-focused wholesale model plus showrooms. It is a direct competitor to Triton's slab distribution business, particularly in the Northeast.
• M S International (MSI): MSI is the largest U.S. importer and distributor of natural stone, quartz, and porcelain surfaces serving both fabricators and retail/designers. It is the most direct competitor to Triton Stone's hybrid wholesale-plus-retail distribution model and operates at significantly larger national scale.
• Architectural Surfaces Group: Architectural Surfaces is a stone and tile distributor with showrooms serving designers, builders, and homeowners across multiple U.S. regions. Its hybrid wholesale-fabricator and retail-designer model parallels Triton's, particularly in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.

• Daltile: Daltile is the largest U.S. manufacturer and distributor of tile, stone, and countertops with national scale. It competes with Triton across tile and natural stone distribution and serves the same design and builder channels, but operates as a much broader incumbent with its own manufacturing footprint.
• Cosentino: Cosentino is a global manufacturer of engineered quartz (Silestone), natural stone, and ultra-compact surfaces (Dekton) with a major U.S. distribution and showroom presence. It competes with Triton on the engineered surfaces side and on the design/specifier channel, though it is a manufacturer rather than a distributor.
