Marble Systems Plans Caroline County, Virginia, Operations

10/25/2024
Marble Systems, a manufacturer and distributor of stone products, plans to establish operations in Caroline County, Virginia. The $9.7 million project is expected to create 59 jobs.

The investment will include a new warehouse and distribution center, as well as cut stone and stone product manufacturing facilities.

“Marble Systems is grateful to the Caroline County Economic Development Department, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership and the Virginia Port Authority for their collaboration and efforts in working with us to make this project come together with a strong portfolio of incentives that will allow us to meet the demands of our growing business and support the economic development and commerce goals of Virginia and the Virginia Port,” said Marble Systems, Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer Munir?Turunc. “By investing in our home state of Virginia, we have achieved an outstanding geographic position that bolsters?our ability to serve our distribution and dealer networks and gives us ready access to the Virginia ports and the I-95 corridor. And importantly, we will have access to great employee talent for both immediate and future hiring needs.”

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with Caroline County and the Fredericksburg Regional Alliance to secure the project and will support Marble System’s job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program. As a business incentive supporting economic development, VJIP reduces the human resource costs of new and expanding companies. VJIP is state-funded, demonstrating Virginia’s commitment to enhancing job opportunities for citizens.

“This exciting announcement highlights the success of Virginia’s exceptional business retention strategies,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick. “This project not only brings 59 new jobs to Caroline County, but also reinforces our exceptional workforce and strategic location.”

Marble Systems is also eligible to receive benefits from the Port of Virginia Economic and Infrastructure Development Zone Grant Program.

“Marble Systems’ investment in Caroline County is a testament to the region’s growing importance in international trade, and The Port of Virginia is ready to support this company’s growth and success,” added Virginia Port Authority CEO and Executive Director Stephen A. Edward. “By expanding in Virginia, Marble Systems is supporting the Virginia economy while capitalizing on the access we provide to markets around the globe. This is a twenty-first century port that is helping growing companies like Marble Systems thrive.”

Marble Systems specializes in cut stone and stone product manufacturing.
