Frederick, Md.—Stone products supplier Avanti Marble & Granite celebrated its 10-year anniversary with more than 200 employees, family members, customers and vendors attending.

With offices in Frederick, Md., and Durham, N.C., Avanti has grown to a staff of 26 employees since being established by Bill Werder, president and CEO, in 1997. Its North Carolina office opened in October 2004 and is directed by Jack Werder, co-owner.

Two years ago Avanti moved its Maryland operation into a 26,000-square-foot facility featuring a blend of artificial and natural light to provide an accurate representation of the stone during the selection process.

And, in 2005, Avanti opened an office in Brazil. “This decision has proven very valuable for us,” Werder said. “We are able to seek out new and unique materials and inspect the quality to ensure we meet our clients’ ever-changing needs.”
