Fabricator Profile: De Lorenzo Marble & Tile

kitchens09De Lorenzo Marble & Tile was founded in 1980 by Frank and Antoinette DeLorenzo shortly after immigrating to the United States from Italy. Frank brought years of experience in the marble tile industry when he made Southern California his home, but after only a few years in business, granite began to rise in popularity, which prompted him to shift the company’s focus.

Even though De Lorenzo Marble & Tile was one of the first granite and marble fabricators in the Los Angeles area, it took the company 24 years to achieve what Joe DeLorenzo, son of Frank and the owner of the business, is calling his greatest achievement: breaking ground on a new state-of-the-art fabrication facility.

De Lorenzo Marble & Tile is now located in Torrance, Calif., on a giant lot that includes a 6,000-sq.-ft. office and showroom, a 10,000-sq.-ft. fabrication facility and a slab yard that is 25,000 sq. ft. in area. The company employs 10 people and now fabricates countertops from a full range of materials, including granite, marble, quartz, onyx, soapstone, limestone, slate and travertine.

Joe explains that De Lorenzo Marble & Tile caters to the luxury countertop market by offering a unique choice of natural and engineered stone slabs. The company has always been based on providing quality services and products, and it is known for getting the job done right, which he believes is more important than price.
