Rock of Ages Corporation
Rock of Ages (ROA) is into hard rock -- as long as it's granite. Rock of Ages Corporation, which is known for its personalized cemetery memorials (including a full-size Mercedes Benz replica), quarries its own granite and makes finished granite memorials. ROA operates about 10 quarries and a handful of manufacturing and sawing facilities, mostly in Vermont and in Quebec, Canada. ROA has sold its Rock of Ages Memorials retail operation in 2008, which accounted for more than a third of the firm's sales. ROA is also a wholesaler, serving about 100 independent retailers in the US and Canada. Chairman Kurt Swenson and his brother Kevin together control the firm's voting power. ROA was founded in Vermont in 1885.
