Stonegate Tooling acquires National Masonry

Stonegate Precision Tooling, a tooling, solutions and support supplier to the stone fabrication industry, has announced that it has acquired National Masonry Ltd as of the 17 June 2024.

National Masonry, also commonly known as Stone Equipment International, is the UK supplier of Marmo Meccanica machinery, primarily focusing on edge polishing machines. In over 30 years, National Masonry Ltd, headed by managing director Andy Bell, has reportedly built a reputation as trusted and knowledgeable machinery distributors to the UK market.

Stonegate says it will look to continue the important work done by Andy Bell, by working closely with Marmo Meccanica to ensure that UK fabricators receive the support, guidance and advice needed when assessing edge polishing options.

Stonegate Tooling managing director, Graham Hazell, said:
“Our mission is to put innovation at the core of our business and provide valuable advice that leads to an impeccable customer experience. We do this by working with fabricators and listening to their challenges, in order to provide the solutions and support they need to excel in what they do.”

Former National Masonry managing director Andy Bell, said:
“It goes without saying that National Masonry Ltd is very, very close to my heart. When I made the decision to step away from the business, I wanted to ensure that it was passed on to a safe pair of hands. I assessed many options within the UK market and discovered that the values and ethos of Stonegate were close to, not only my own, but also those of Marmo Meccanica.”
