With 15 to 20% of its market comprising the U.S., VM Kaldorf (VMK) has a strong global presence and continually strategizes to further grow its business. Recently, Stone World had the opportunity to ask Johannes Semmler, managing director, and Hubert Kuenzl, export manager, about recent investments and their approach to working with and promoting the company’s Jura limestone to architects. Here’s what they had to say.

Semmler: VMK, as part of the Franken-Schotter Group, is on a constant investment path. That includes every single area of our company. In the office, we invested in a new IT infrastructure and software in order to streamline business processes. On the operations side, we invested in a new splitting machine and a head polisher to increase efficiency for flat panel production.
