How do I make money in the stone fabrication business?
Labor and materials are your two largest costs. To stay profitable, invest in machines that reduce material waste and require less labor. Also, choose equipment with reliable support and easy access to parts to minimize downtime and keep your customers satisfied.
Are all machine salespeople the same?
No. Independent sales representatives may not work directly for the manufacturer and can make claims that are difficult to verify. Park’s sales team is made up of employees who represent only Park Industries® equipment, providing honest advice and long-term support.
How much do stone machines cost?
Pricing varies depending on the machine type, size, and features. To help you make sense of it all, we’ve put together a guide to what really goes into the price of a stone machine.
What machine is best for my shop’s size and workflow?
That depends on your materials, layout, and production needs. Our expert sales consultants will guide you through those details to recommend the machine that fits your shop best.

What kind of training is provided with the purchase?
We offer hands-on training for both machine operation and programming to make sure your team feels confident from day one. Training can be done onsite, virtually, or at Park, depending on what works best for your shop.
Can Park help me understand profit and long-term value?
Absolutely. Our team will help you evaluate your numbers, understand your return on investment, and identify ways to improve your profitability and efficiency.
What is my initial investment to get started?
Today’s shops need some level of automation to stay competitive. Manual equipment and hand labor often result in higher costs and employee turnover. A Park Industries® sales consultant can help determine the right starting investment based on your shop size, production volume, and goals.
What financing options are available?
There are multiple financing options available for your machine purchase. While Park Industries doesn’t offer its own financing, our team can assist you in finding the right option for your shop.
What key factors should I consider when buying a machine?
Look beyond just the price. Consider machine build quality, available features, service and support, training, and the manufacturer’s reputation. These factors play a major role in long-term value and performance.
How long does it take to get a machine delivered?
Lead times vary based on the machine model and current demand. Once your order is placed, our team will provide an estimated timeline and keep you updated every step of the way.
What is the installation process like?
Once you place your order, we work closely with you to get your shop ready. From site prep to utility checks and scheduling, everything is planned out. When the machine arrives, our technician handles setup and trains your team to start strong.
How long does it take to learn machine programming?
Most fabricators become comfortable with programming quickly. Park provides in-depth training to help your team learn how to operate and optimize your equipment with confidence.
