Since March is historically known as “Women’s Month,” we thought it would be a nice time to shine a light, so to speak, on some of the strong hard-working women of the stone industry. Throughout the month, we will be posting stories, podcasts and video interviews – providing some insight on some of the women behind the scenes of various companies and associations. The dedication and contributions these women bring to their job or leadership role everyday assist in the overall success of their organization.

It couldn’t be more appropriate that this month we are presenting Stone World’s 2020 Fabricator of the Year, Sandya Dandamudi. If you read her nomination letter or listen to the interview that myself and Jason Kamery had with her, you will learn that Sandya followed in her mother’s footsteps and is the second-generation owner of GI Stone in Chicago. Sandya has worked tirelessly to build upon the company’s success and become a leading stone fabricator and installer for the commercial and hospitality sectors. Throughout the year, look for more editorial on Sandya and her work, which will further reinforce why she has been honored as our Fabricator of the Year.
