Cambridge Pavingstones

What Cambridge Pavingstones does

Cambridge Pavers, Inc., doing business as Cambridge Pavingstones (and "Cambridge with ArmorTec"), is a family-owned American manufacturer of interlocking concrete pavingstones, segmental wall systems, and modular outdoor living products, headquartered in Lyndhurst, New Jersey with a second manufacturing facility under ramp in Danville, Virginia. The company is led by Founder/Chairman/CEO Charles H. Gamarekian, with Charles Gamarekian Jr. and Christopher S. Gamarekian serving as Vice-Presidents. Its proprietary ArmorTec surface treatment — described as a "hardfacing" integrated into the paver unit — is the core technical differentiator, paired with Laser Fit technology on the wall systems line for tight structural tolerances. The product portfolio spans six paver collections, multiple wall systems, stone veneer, natural stone, pool coping, and a broad Outdoor Living category that includes fireplaces, pizza ovens, outdoor kitchens, fire tables and pits, pergolas, water features, and bar modules, supported by an installation accessories ecosystem (edge restraints, polymeric sand, geogrid, cleaners) and design resources such as the DesignScape Visualizer, Blueprint by Cambridge BIM/CAD assets, and ArmorTec Atlas specification sheets.

Cambridge's business model is a B2B wholesale operation that sells exclusively through a network of Authorized Cambridge Distributors; the company is not open to the public. Distributors and certified professional contractors — many supported through ICPI certification programs, on-site field support, and contractor clinics/seminars — then sell and install product to homeowners, landscape designers, and commercial specifiers. Revenue is generated on a transactional wholesale basis across three streams: core pavingstone and wallstone sales, outdoor living component kits, and installation accessories. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and final consumer pricing is set by the distribution channel. The company has cumulatively sold over 3 billion pavingstones and employs more than 150 people, with no external institutional investment or public listing.
