A Quarter Century of Growth

1999

Founded in Orange, CA

MSI launches as a natural stone importer, establishing direct relationships with quarries across India, Turkey, and Italy. The founding premise: bring specification-grade material to North American contractors at honest prices.

2007

National Distribution Network Established

MSI opens its 10th distribution center, completing an East–West logistics corridor. Contractors and designers gain access to in-stock tile and stone within 2 business days across 38 states.

2013

Q Quartz Launch — Countertop Expansion

MSI enters the engineered quartz market with Q Quartz, a line of 70+ colors developed in partnership with manufacturing partners in Spain and South Korea. The line earns NSF/ANSI 51 certification in its first year.

2018

Everlife LVP Launched — Flooring Innovation

Recognizing the shift toward waterproof rigid-core flooring, MSI develops Everlife LVP. The collection earns FloorScore and GREENGUARD Gold certification, becoming the go-to for multifamily developers within two years of launch.

2025

17,000+ SKUs, 38 Distribution Centers

MSI reaches the industry's broadest surface catalog. Arterra Pavers, the Digital Design Visualizer, and expanded hardscaping collections position MSI as the single-source surface solution for every project type.

The Principles Behind Every Surface

Quality Without Compromise

Every MSI product undergoes dimensional tolerance, breaking strength, and absorption testing before entering inventory. Our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system applies end-to-end.

Innovation in Every Collection

From digital-ink printing that replicates book-matched marble to waterproof rigid-core engineering in Everlife LVP, MSI invests in material science that opens new design possibilities.

Relationships That Outlast Projects

We measure success in repeat specifications. Our field reps, inside sales team, and technical support desk are measured on long-term customer outcomes, not single-transaction volume.

Responsible Sourcing

We audit manufacturing partners for environmental compliance, worker safety standards, and material transparency. Sustainability is a procurement criterion, not a marketing initiative.
