Construction Resources Expands Its Horizons with Opustone Acquisition
In a surprising move that has left the luxury surfaces market buzzing, Construction Resources Company, LLC has officially acquired Opustone, L.L.C. from the Mosaic Companies as of April 9, 2025. This acquisition brings Opustone into the fold of Construction Resources’ impressive portfolio, which includes established names such as UMI Stone and Cancos Tile & Stone on the east coast.
The Face of Opustone
Located in the bustling heart of South Florida, Opustone has made a name for itself as a premier stone slab and tile distributor since its inception in 2001. With showrooms in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach, Opustone caters to the luxury residential and commercial design sectors, offering an extensive selection of over 10,000 curated products sourced from more than 25 countries. This extensive range is not just a testament to their commitment to quality but also to their ability to enhance any design project with premium surfaces.
The Leadership Team Stays On
Vera Castillo, General Manager of Opustone, expresses enthusiasm regarding the merger, highlighting the extensive growth opportunities that lie ahead with Construction Resources. Meanwhile, Opustone’s president, Eric Schigiel, will continue his role while also serving as a strategic advisor for Walker Zanger’s slab division, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity in operations.
A Toast to Growth
This major acquisition comes shortly after Construction Resources was acquired by The Home Depot in December 2023, marking a significant pivot in their business strategy. With this backing, Construction Resources is driven to expand its influence in the home products sector, which includes design-oriented surfaces, appliances, cabinets, and specialty items predominantly aimed at professional contractors and designers involved in home renovations. Just a month prior, in March 2025, they had successfully completed the acquisition of MVP Granite Countertops, reflecting a robust strategy to broaden their offerings in the high-end market.
Market Moves
Before the acquisition, Opustone was under the ownership of Mosaic Companies, a partnership led by Albert Claramonte and The Baupost Group. They acquired Opustone in conjunction with Walker Zanger in 2021 as part of their ambition to cement a strong foothold in the luxury surfaces sector. Glen Morrison, the CEO of Mosaic Companies, has remarked on their commitment to crafting a customer-centric experience backed by market-leading design.
A Bright Future Ahead
The inclusion of Opustone into Construction Resources promises to enhance their capacity to provide high-quality surfaces and unparalleled services across South Florida, reaffirming their commitment to excellence in the luxury market. As they unfold this exciting chapter, the synergy between Opustone’s robust distribution capabilities and Construction Resources’ extensive market presence is expected to yield positive outcomes, benefiting both the companies and their clientele.
Industry insiders are keeping a close watch on how this merger will reshape the competitive landscape. With the high demand for luxury home products, the amalgamation of expertise and resources from Construction Resources and Opustone is expected to redefine standards and elevate customer experiences across the board.
