What Earthcore Industries does

Earthcore Industries, LLC is a Jacksonville, Florida-based manufacturer and distributor that has operated since 1990 as the exclusive North American producer of Isokern-brand modular masonry fireplaces and chimney systems. Its core technology is the use of proprietary Icelandic pumice sourced from Mt. Hekla — a 6,000+ year-old, lightweight, fire-resistant volcanic material free of volatile organic compounds — which forms the basis of an eight-series Isokern fireplace lineup (Standard, Magnum, Magnum+, Bvetto, Maximus Traditional, Maximus Linear, Xcelux Linear, and Vent-Free) plus modular chimney systems. The portfolio also extends into outdoor living through Iso'ven pizza ovens, Isopanel outdoor kitchens, Isoflames vented log sets, EcoSteel components, and X-VENTISO mechanical venting.

Earthcore generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of these fireplace, chimney, outdoor, and accessory products. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales directed at architects, designers, and builders, supported by more than 10 company-owned solution centers across major US metros (Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, and others), AIA CEU specification courses, trade show and HGTV-driven content marketing, and a direct e-commerce website. Manufacturing is conducted in Chesapeake, Virginia, with a second 57,000-square-foot facility in Indiana added via the February 2026 acquisition of Firegear Outdoors, which also made Earthcore the sole North American distributor of Heatstrip outdoor heating products. Customers include residential homeowners, commercial and hospitality projects, and the architectural/design/build professional community; pricing is quote-based for custom installations and no public pricing is disclosed.
