Employer Spotlight: Evolve Stone

Evolve Stone in Frederick County, Virginia

Evolve Manufacturing moved its original operations from Massachusetts to Frederick County, Virginia, in 2012, starting with just six employees. Since then, the company has developed the world's first face-nailed artificial stone. Evolve Stone is the only mortarless, color-throughout stone veneer, and it installs up to 10 times faster than traditional stone. Is is also a fraction of the weight compared to its competitors. Evolve Stone looks and feels like real stone but installs with the ease of a finishing nailer, serving multiple segments of the construction industry.

The company's expertise in construction, building science, and manufacturing, combined with its drive and passion for cutting-edge technology, laid the foundation for this groundbreaking product. It's a recipe that netted Evolve “Best in Show” and “Most Innovative Building Material” at the 2022 National Association of Home Builders' International Builders Show, and a Silver Award in the Furniture and Fixtures Category of the 2024 Virginia Manufacturing Cup.

"We are proud of our reputation as leaders and innovators. As successful as we've been within the commercial sector (theming and playgrounds), we knew our material would be a game-changer in the construction industry." Greg Fritz, CEO
