ShetkaStone To Be Distributed By North Star Surfaces

Le Center, Minnesota—ShetkaStone is proud to announce its new relationship with North Star Surfaces, a leading distributor of eco-friendly building products. Effective immediately, North Star will begin promoting ShetkaStone’s sustainable surfaces through its distribution network of nine Midwestern states and California. North Star Surfaces will also provide marketing and merchandising support for ShetkaStone.

ShetkaStone surfaces, made from recycled paper, are ideal for tabletops, countertops, furniture, moldings, tiles, and more. Equal parts beauty, strength, and sustainability, the product is one of the greenest surfaces on the market today and is appropriate for a variety of commercial, residential, and institutional applications. With the help of its new distributor, ShetkaStone intends to make its recycled surfaces available across a wider geographical area without sacrificing its dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainable manufacturing.

“For the past 25 years, North Star Surfaces has committed itself to bringing quality, sustainable products to market in a responsible way,” says Phil Wijmer, president of ShetkaStone. “We’re thrilled to become part of that tradition, and excited for the opportunity to expand our customer base throughout the Midwest and beyond.”

North Star Surfaces has a long track record of building brand awareness for green architectural products. Michael Butler, Director of Communications for North Star, says he is confident that North Star’s customers will embrace ShetkaStone for its beauty as well as for its performance. “When we tell our customers their choices represent healthy jobs, healthy communities, and a healthy planet, they will eagerly use them to create dynamic and healthy indoor environments.”

Chuck Geerdes, president of North Star Surfaces, adds that he believes the new relationship with ShetkaStone will enrich both companies as they work toward the common goal of building a greener future.

“We’re passionate about forging alliances and developing products that help chart the future of our built environments,” says Michael Bulter, Director of Communications. “Every day, we are faced with the consequences of the choices we’ve made, whether that be our addiction to oil or the loss of healthy and sustainable jobs in America. Our sense of stewardship compels us to do what we can to improve this, and that’s why we’re proud to be working with ShetkaStone, a company that shares our mission and our passion.”
