“This investment demonstrates DuPont’s focus on growth, which will benefit our customers in Canada and around the world,” said Bill White, president, DuPont Canada.  “We will make equipment enhancements that will enable us to further increase the size of slabs and improve the quality of slabs we deliver, which will improve the yields during fabrication and deliver a better finished product to consumers to meet the increasing market needs of our customers around the world.”

“We are dedicated to providing our customers with access to the broadest choices in high quality materials, and this investment in our Zodiaq® quartz surfaces products is a key component of that offering,” said Tom Schuler, vice president and general manager, DuPont Building Innovations.  “We anticipate further growth in this fast-growing market as consumers are drawn to the strength and beauty of combining natural quartz with smart technology.”
