What Tuscan Stone Imports, L.l.c. does

Tuscan Stone Imports, L.l.c. is a privately held natural stone and engineered quartz importer and distributor headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. Founded in 2004 by Keven Hicks and Tommy Roddy, the company sources and imports natural stone slabs — granite, quartzite, and marble — from quarries in Brazil, India, and Italy, and distributes them alongside engineered quartz surfaces including its exclusive Tuscan Quartz sub-brand and resold Caesarstone products. The business serves homeowners, fabricators, contractors, designers, and commercial customers undertaking residential and commercial construction and renovation projects across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, operating physical showrooms in New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

The company runs its digital infrastructure on the Stone Profit Systems platform, which powers live online inventory, new arrivals, on-order tracking, the public website, and a dedicated fabricator login portal for B2B pricing and ordering. This gives trade buyers a self-serve channel while showroom visits remain the primary consumer touchpoint. Vendor relationships with Caesarstone (engineered quartz) and Serene Cabinetry (outdoor aluminum cabinetry) provide cross-promotional reach into adjacent kitchen and outdoor living categories.

Revenue is generated through one-time transactional sales of stone slabs and quartz surfaces, with quote-based pricing per project and per slab. The go-to-market combines direct showroom sales to homeowners and businesses with relationship-based B2B sales to fabricators, contractors, and designers, supported by delivery logistics to fabricator shops and job sites throughout the tri-state Gulf South region. Marketing relies on the live-inventory website, Constant Contact email newsletters, and vendor logo placements rather than paid acquisition at scale. The firm operates as a founder-owned LLC with 11-50 employees and no institutional capital or public-market presence.

Direct peers

• Stone Source: U.S. importer and distributor of natural stone with showrooms targeting architects, designers, and contractors. Closely aligned curation-led positioning with TSI.
• M S International (MSI): The largest U.S. importer and distributor of natural stone, quartz, and tile serving dealers, fabricators, and contractors. Direct competitor to Tuscan Stone Imports across the same product categories, although MSI operates nationally and at much larger scale.
• Emser Tile: National distributor of tile and natural-stone products through company-owned branches serving dealers, contractors, and homeowners. Comparable to TSI in product mix and B2B fabricator/contractor go-to-market.
• Marble & Granite Inc. A U.S. natural-stone importer and distributor with showrooms serving fabricators, contractors, and homeowners. Operates in the same import-and-resell model as Tuscan Stone Imports with a comparable granite/quartzite/marble focus.
• Ciot: Tile and natural-stone distributor serving designers, architects, contractors, and consumers through showrooms in the U.S. and Canada. Directly comparable assortment and B2B customer base.
• Architectural Surfaces Group: Distributor of natural stone, quartz, and porcelain slabs serving residential and commercial customers across multiple U.S. markets. Comparable in slab-focused distribution and project-driven customer base.
• Bedrosians Tile & Stone: Family-owned U.S. distributor of tile and natural stone with showrooms serving designers, contractors, and homeowners. Closely mirrors TSI's showrooms-plus-international-sourcing model.

Broad incumbents

• Cosentino: Global manufacturer of engineered quartz (Silestone), natural stone, and architectural surfaces with a U.S. distribution network. Competes in the same surfacing categories and customer segments as TSI, but with manufacturing scale.
• Caesarstone: Global manufacturer of engineered quartz surfaces. TSI is a reseller of Caesarstone; Caesarstone is a broad incumbent supplier that competes indirectly for end-customer specification.
• Dal-Tile: The largest U.S. manufacturer and distributor of tile and stone, owned by Mohawk Industries. Overlaps with TSI in stone distribution but operates with own manufacturing, nationwide branches, and a much broader product portfolio.
