CAMBRIA was a main client of SITEC.
That was last April.
Cambria is a major player in the countertop business. I guess they are not too afraid with the incoming regulation for caribou where they are in operation.

Ian Turner explains that this sale "ensures the future of the company and the facilities". He will remain president of Sitec Quartz North America for the next five years. It also indicates that "nothing changes at the facilities".
alks began two years ago. Cambria has been a Sitec customer for years. The company specializes in the manufacture of countertops for kitchens and bathrooms.
Ian Turner mentions that the company, "recognized for its innovation, has the capacity to financially support the development of the mine located north of Saint-Urbain".
