Louisiana Stone

What Louisiana Stone does

Louisiana Stone is a natural stone importer and wholesale distributor headquartered in Monroe, Louisiana, importing and reselling natural stone slabs (granite, marble, travertine, soapstone, quartzite) and man-made quartz under the TAB Quartz sub-brand. The company sources from quarries and factories in Brazil, Italy, Norway, China, Africa, and India, and serves an approved network of stone fabricators across eight southern and central U.S. states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Florida). Beyond wholesale slab distribution, the company sells tile direct to the public from its Monroe showroom.

The business operates on a one-time sales model: bulk slab inventory is sold to fabricators who cut, finish, and install stone for end consumers, while tile is sold retail at the Monroe location. The company does not have a proprietary technology platform or app — its competitive position rests on supply chain relationships, an 8-state fabricator network, and the curation of a multi-origin product portfolio. Customers are predominantly mid-market fabrication shops (e.g., Granite Depot, First Choice Marble & Granite, EMCAR Marble & Granite), with a small set of regional sales representatives and a Brazil-based inspector handling quality control at source.

Founded in 2003 as a Louisiana LLC, the company employs 11–50 people and runs a low-overhead distribution model. There is no public evidence of outside funding, M&A activity, or technology acquisitions.
