President's Comments - Pyramid Granite & Metals

Hello! My name is Phil Hoadley, Jr. and this is my wife, Linda. I am the President of Pyramid Granite & Metals, Inc., and Linda is our Chief Financial Officer. I have been involved with precision granite manufacturing for most of my life, and I can still remember helping cut slabs from boulders using a single feed wire saw that my father and grandfather designed in the early 1950s. A lot has changed since then, but our commitment to high quality, flawless performance, and exemplary service remains stronger than ever.

We care deeply about the quality of our custom manufactured critical tolerance products, and we strive to make your sales successful utilizing our individually crafted precision granite and metal products. Each piece we manufacture is precisely, timely and consistently made by our trained professionals, with pride. We strive continuously to improve our design and production methodology in order to meet our customers' needs. We are completely committed to a rapid turn-around delivery schedule in order to facilitate your own assembly schedules.

There seems to be a trend these days towards fostering foreign countries' economics, accompanied by a cavalier attitude towards the future employment of American manufacturers. I would like to urge you to consider the long term effects of transferring source acquisition from a national to a global level, as well as the practical implications of using an unreliable and unpredictable foreign supplier. Foreign suppliers often paint a rose colored picture regarding price and delivery, but they rarely, if ever, produce the promised pieces at the promised time. In addition, foreign suppliers cannot offer supply chain flexibility, nor modify production schedules to meet current market demands. The worst part of using a foreign supplier is that there is no one to call and ask for help or service when you finally do get the pieces.

In fact, many of our orders arise out of a situation where a company can't meet its own delivery times because their foreign source has failed to make their granite or metal products to specification, or the ordered pieces will arrive too late for the customer to complete their own project. Our customers, on the other hand, always have their precision granite products delivered to them on time, made perfectly to their specifications, every time. We provide the best granite and metal precision products and services in the business, with the most flexible production and delivery schedule. If needed, we are readily available to assist you at your site.

There is no substitute for 75 years of knowledge, experience, integrity and commitment, and we urge you to choose Pyramid Granite & Metals, Inc. as your exclusive supplier of precision granite and metal products. You can depend on us.

Thank you, and God Bless America!

Phil Hoadley, President
