Equipped to meet your needs

State-of-the-Art Fabrication Facility

During World War II, Kansas was a major United States Army Air Force (USAAF) training center of the USAAF fighters and bombers. Herington Army Airfield was 1 of 15 airfields under the command of Second Air Force, between 1942 and 1945. After the war ended, most airfields were sold or turned over to local communities. In 2001, U.S. Stone Industries purchased the old hanger in Herington, KS. Herington was, and still is, a desirable location for a facility due to the central proximity to various quarry sites.

Continuous Improvement

Since the original facility was acquired and outfitted it has been updated and improved dramatically over the years. The historic space has been transformed into a state-of-the-art stone fabrication facility, which boasts over 70,000 square feet of production floor capacity.

Embracing Technology

Second and third fabrication buildings were added in response to growing demand for U.S. Stone Industries’ building products. Facility innovations of equipment include the very latest in stone fabrication technology: a fully optimized, automated, cut-to-size stone panel line, multiple CNC stone fabrication centers, slabbing saws, numerous splitting and veneer lines, general carving stations and hand finishing terminals.

Built & Staffed for Efficiency & Quality

The facility is designed for optimum efficiency, providing for enhanced throughput and value for a wide variety of natural stone uses. It is staffed with the very best managers, craftsmen, schedulers, and operators in the stone business.

Eight Kansas Limestone Quarries

Kansas’ diverse limestone resources were formed over 500 million years ago on the shallow ocean floor, then known as the Permian sea. Only a small percentage of this resource has been quarried over the last century, and U.S. Stone Industries has emphasized sustainability and reclamation of the land along the way.

U.S. Stone Industries operates eight quarries to provide a wide range of colors and appearances.
