Marble Systems to build facility in Caroline County

A Fairfax County-based stone products manufacturer and distributor, Marble Systems, will invest $9.7 million on a warehouse and distribution center in Caroline County, creating an estimated 59 jobs, Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced Friday.

Virginia competed with South Carolina, New Jersey and Georgia for the project, which will also include cut stone and stone product manufacturing facilities, according to the governor’s office.

In a statement, Marble Systems CEO Munir Turunc said, “By investing in our home state of Virginia, we have achieved an outstanding geographic position that bolsters our ability to serve our distribution and dealer networks and gives us ready access to the Virginia ports and the I-95 corridor. And importantly, we will have access to great employee talent for both immediate and future hiring needs.”

Headquartered in Fairfax, Marble Systems was founded in 1982 and has presences across the country, from Florida to California, as well as a tile outlet in Chantilly. It also has offices in Turkey and Germany, and three factories in western Turkey.

“Marble Systems’ decision to expand in Caroline County underscores Virginia’s commitment to fostering homegrown businesses,” Youngkin said in a statement. “This $9.7 million investment is a win for Virginia’s construction and design industries, and cements the commonwealth’s unparalleled reputation as a hub for high-quality stone product manufacturing.”

Marble Systems will receive consultation and funding for employee recruitment and training through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, a state-funded initiative. The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Caroline County and the Fredericksburg Regional Alliance to secure the project for Virginia, and the company is also eligible for benefits from the Port of Virginia Economic and Infrastructure Development Zone Grant Program.
