Artisan Group Welcomes New Member
AUSTIN, Texas – Granite Mountain Countertops is the newest member of Artisan Group.
Owned by Michael Howard, Granite Mountain Countertops operates two locations with nearly 30 employees in the Montana cities of Bozeman and Billings. The company serves the I-90 corridor across the Treasure State from Missoula to Billings.
Granite Mountain Countertops was originally part of a family business that included drywall, painting, tile, remodeling and general contracting and development. Howard bought his father and family out of the granite and tile division in 2013, becoming the sole owner.
The company is a full Park Industries facility except for a Baca Miter Saw. Howard’s vision is to grow the company to $10 million to $15 million annual revenue in the next three to five years.
“We are simple, small town Christians who are trying to make the world a better place through honest business practices,” Howard said.”We’ve created a safe and rewarding culture for our employees and a quality product and service for our customers.
“We are excited for the opportunity to be a part of the Artisan Group and feel that we are a great match.”
Artisan Group offers their own brands of premium countertops including Metro Quartz, Artisan Stone Collection granite and marble, Saratoga Soapstone and Heritage Wood.
“We are strategically growing the group with premier fabricators in key cities,” said Jon Lancto, Artisan Group President. “The Artisan Group brands of stone and wood countertops span the United States and two Canadian provinces.
We were the first group of our kind to unite the best countertop fabricators in the business and have not waivered on our membership requirements. This ensures that homeowners always know they’re getting the best product possible when working with an Artisan Group member.”
