Toro Stone Brings New Stone Veneer Collections To Market, Emphasizing Craftsmanship and Quality

Toro Stone, a fresh face in the stone veneer landscape, burst onto the stone masonry scene in April with a bold name and vision for success. As the brand focuses on meeting the specific needs of masons and contractors, Toro Stone is introducing a range of stone veneer collections, promising to redefine excellence in the industry with stone options for every aesthetic. 

With nationwide distribution, innovative packaging, and a commitment to consistent quality, Toro Stone simplifies the specification and ordering processes, offering efficient stone solutions and unwavering product and customer support. 

"The Toro Stone brand is a testament to our dedication to excellence and innovation," said Kevin Grotke, president and CEO of Instone, maker of Toro Stone. “We've leveraged over thirty years of industry-leading experience to develop stone veneer collections that not only meet but exceed our customers' expectations.”

The initial launch of the brand includes eight distinctive collections. Celebrating the artistry of nature, the Mountain Ledge Collection embodies Toro Stone’s commitment to strength, innovation, and the art of stone craftsmanship. Mountain Ledge joins the majestic beauty of stratified rock formations, adding depth, realism, and a rustic touch to any space. Its varied shapes, sizes, and textured surfaces evoke the timeless charm of nature.
