Market position and competition

Capstone presents itself as a scale-focused, diversified distributor of stone and masonry products with a broad product portfolio, a multi-state and cross-border footprint, and ongoing investments in digital platforms and customer service. The stone distribution market is fragmented, offering consolidation opportunities and a push toward product, geographic, and capability adjacencies.
