The Marble Institute of America (MIA) has launched a stone industry accreditation program aimed at assuring “continued excellence” in the natural stone industry, while recognizing companies that comply with MIA quality standards.

Three accreditation programs are currently available from the MIA:

• Natural Stone Fabrication
• Commercial A Contractor
• Commercial B Contractor

Commercial accreditation is broken into two categories for companies conducting high-rise and large-scale commercial work, and those firms that handle smaller-scale, commercial stone installations.

Additional information about the MIA or its accreditation program can be obtained by visiting www.marble-institute.com, or by calling (440) 250-9222.
