KEYSTONE DESIGNS

Keystone Designs, Inc. was formed in 1992 with two employees providing solid surface countertops and cultured marble burial urns to a handful of customers. Nineteen years later the company has grown to employ 28 associates occupying facilities exceeding 18,000 square feet. Today Keystone Designs is one of the largest providers of premium solid surface and stone countertops for high end residential, commercial, recreational vehicle, and marine markets in both north central Indiana and southern Michigan. Keystone Designs commitment to customer service fabricator excellence has been the catalyst for their sale growth. Early in 2005 Keystone recognized that the systems and manufacturing techniques that serve them well as a small fabricator were not adequate for greater volumes and more demanding lead times. They would need to pursue aggressive change in order to meet the expectations of their customers. As a rapidly growing and certified DuPont Corian fabricator Keystone Designs qualified to participate in a DuPont sponsored Optimization Program. Keystone contracted with the South Carolina Manufacturing Extension Partnership (SCMEP) to implement synchronous flow management velocity through the manufacturing process and therefore reducing lead times and improving on time delivery and installation performance. As a result of this effort Keystone has been able to reduce lead times from 3-4 weeks for custom stone and solid surface installation. Keystone Design’s employees and leadership team are dedicated to excellence and strive to provide both the premium product and unmatched customer service. Keystone Designs can provide you and your clientele with countertops that are the envy of the industry.
