Kevin Cole, Editor & Associate Publisher,
Surface Fabrication Magazine

Kevin Cole is editor and associate publisher of Surface Fabrication magazine. He has been a working journalist for more than 10 years and has degrees in English and Journalism from Illinois State University. Before taking his current position in 2004, he worked as an editor/writer in the metal fabrication industry for such publications as Cutting Tool Engineering, Modern Metals and The FABRICATOR, among others.

Whether primarily fabricating stone, ½–in. solid surface, laminate or other materials, the 3cm solid surface product represents significant profit potential for fabricators. This Webinar explains to fabricators of solid surface the inherent time and cost-savings in 3cm production. For stone and laminate fabricators it introduces the potential to expand their product lines to include a solid surface product that can be fabricated without significant investment in new equipment or training. And in both cases, it delivers specific tactics for incorporating this material into an existing business.

The Webinar will include a manufacturer’s presentation on the benefits of 3cm material that does not require edge build-ups or lamination, as well as a presentation by end users that are currently working with the material. All attendees of the event will have an opportunity to ask questions of the presenters and no software downloads are required for most.

Before taking his current position in 2004, he worked as an editor/writer in the metal fabrication industry for such publications as Cutting Tool Engineering, Modern Metals and The FABRICATOR, among others.

GROWING PROFIT POTENTIAL IN QUARTZ SURFACES - Quartz surfacing is a hot prospect. It is predicted by researchers to grow at high rates each year through the end of the decade, and it captures a premium price in the marketplace. But what potential can these products hold for your shop and what are practical ways your company can harvest potential profits in these surfaces? This seminar examines the ins and outs of quartz surfacing and best-practices of fabricators leading the way in the sale and fabrication of this material.

It is designed to be informative to those companies that currently fabricate quartz surfacing, and those that are working with solid surface or natural stone only. Not only will a representative of Silestone be discussing breaking into the quartz surfacing market through co-op template/install relationships, but an actual fabricator of the product will discuss the transition from template/install to full fabrication. And plenty of time will be allotted to answer audience questions.

Date: TBD
