Valders Stone & Marble History
Acquired by Eden Stone in 1992, Valders Stone and Marble’s origins date all the way back to 1906 when it began its operation as Valders Lime and Stone Company. The original operation was set up to produce lump lime for masonry plaster as well as quarried stone and crushed lime. It wasn’t until 1957 that Valders made its mark as a building material. It was then owner Harold Brennan that received the first contract to produce limestone Rip Rap for shoreline protection, stabilization and breakwater structures. Rip Rap production continues today in the Valders quarries and remains the product many local people associate with the operation.

Once Valders appeared in the Rip Rap market, it didn’t take long for the quality and properties of the limestone to be recognized. A government inspection engineer was the first to suggest sawing Valders stone instead of using it strictly for shoreline protection. This was the beginning of the first sawed dimensional cut stone operation at the quarry. With one wire saw that cut large stone blocks into slabs the company moved into the dimensional stone industry. The first cut limestone project produced was for an office building for the Kohler Company. The second project was for Lakeland College in Sheboygan, WI. By 1978 the company purchased 2 large circular diamond blade saws and built a new building to house them. The expansion allowed the company to acquire larger projects including the Seeley G. Mudd Library at Lawrence University, Johnson County Airport in Kansas City, Kansas and the Corporate Headquarters of Avon Products Incorporated in Rye, New York.
