"Cambria has become a major Minnesota manufacturer over the last 25 years. The company, whose CEO is prominent Minnesota businessman Marty Davis, generates over $500 million in annual sales, and it employs more than 1,000 people in Minnesota alone.
"Davis’ family, which once owned a large dairy business and Sun Country Airlines, opened its Le Sueur stone factory in 2001. There, pulverized quartz is mixed with resins and pigments and formed into slabs that are shipped across the country."
