The Artisan Group: Masters of Countertop Craftsmanship

The Artisan Group is a network of over 35 distinguished North American countertop professionals. As some of the first granite fabricators in the world to be fully accredited by the Marble Institute of America, every member has demonstrated their commitment to quality, safety, and service. The Artisan Group’s dedication to their craft has earned them the highest level of fabrication credentials in the industry.

While the Artisan Group is a national network, its members utilize global sources to provide only the finest natural stone and wood surfaces. Every installation employs state-of-the-art technologies and facilities. These accomplished artisans are trusted by countless customers for their consistency and skill — recognition earned through decades of collective experience.

Architectural Surfaces’ Role in the Artisan Group

The Artisan Group, formerly known as the Granite Buyers Club, was founded in 2007 by AG&M (Architectural Granite & Marble) with the purpose of connecting industry professionals with customers across the country. Today, Architectural Surfaces’ Marketing team plays a key role in planning and organizing several events throughout the year to support the group’s marketing and collaboration efforts.

Architectural Surfaces’ ongoing commitment to premium products, deep industry expertise, and partnership-driven service makes them a vital part of the Artisan Group’s success.
