Delray Beach Based Stone Profiles Forms Partnership with HADCO

Stone Profiles, a leading maker of fine artisan-quality cast stone products for the residential and commercial construction markets and HADCO, a nationally recognized, regional distributor of high-style, high-performance designer appliances for the home, jointly announced today the launch of Outdoor Solutions barbecue islands.

Delray Beach, FL, April 23, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Outdoor Solutions are the first custom-quality outdoor kitchen islands designed and pre-fitted for Viking™ brand appliances, including a cooking surface, warming tray, storage cabinet, and side burner with or without a refrigerator, all in an elegantly appointed and finished simulated stone island. The 84” X 32” islands also feature a solid granite countertop, creating a beautiful and durable workspace for the preparation of gourmet meals for family and friends. Homeowners are able to choose from Stone Profiles’ popular Keystone and Tuscan Stone finishes with Moroccan Gold and Mystic Sea granite countertops to match individual décor and sense of style.

“Stone Profiles has been creating high-end custom architectural cast stone products for a generation, so we were thrilled to partner with HADCO to create a new line of pre-integrated cooking island products featuring Viking appliances,” said David Blyer, managing partner of Stone Profiles. “All three companies share an uncompromising commitment to quality and the belief that a well-designed outdoor living environment significantly improves not only the value of a home, but the quality of life for those living there. Stone Profiles brings a new level of luxury to the outdoor kitchen with our beautiful and functional line of architectural barbecue islands.”

“Our partnership with Stone Profiles allows homeowners to purchase a high-end, stylish prefabricated outdoor kitchen island with superior appliances without having to order a custom design, wait weeks for it to arrive and then require on-site installation,” said Barry Cohen, SVP of sales for HADCO. “With Outdoor Solutions, people are able to buy the ultimate outdoor island barbeque in the morning and entertain that afternoon. We want to make it the easiest way to take it outside!”

The demand for classical elements, both in landscape and architecture, has led to Stone Profile's continuing expansion. From modest beginnings in 1965, when all operations were based out of Hialeah, Florida, by 1998 the company had moved its manufacturing to a purpose-built complex located at 1127 Poinsettia Drive, Delray Beach, Florida. The two acre site incorporates the company's 26,000 sq ft manufacturing facility and mold studio together with an extensive stock-yard and loading area. The premises were extended in 2002 to provide some of the most advanced mold making facilities in the country together with laboratory, post-production finishes, curing and production facilities.

Stone Profiles products are installed in some of the most prestigious buildings, residences, parks, and streets in the country. Stone Profile's success has always come from the trust and respect they receive from the architects, builders, city planners, project managers, and owners whose projects they have been privileged to serve.
