Daviess County CEO Cohort Explores the Craftsmanship Behind Graber Granite
On Tuesday, April 1, 2025, the Daviess County CEO Cohort had the unique opportunity to explore the inner workings of Graber Granite—a respected leader in custom granite and quartz countertop production. Hosted by company founder Loren Graber, the visit offered a fascinating glimpse into the meticulous artistry and precision that define the brand.
Loren began the tour by walking students through the wide selection of countertops Graber Granite produces. He shared the journey of each piece—from the raw, natural materials sourced across the globe to the detailed transportation and installation process. Throughout the visit, Loren emphasized the company’s core values of integrity and customer-first service, highlighting their mission of achieving complete client satisfaction—a guiding principle that has fueled their growth over the past ten years.
As Graber Granite prepares to celebrate its 11th anniversary this fall, the visit served as a powerful reminder of how quality, transparency, and dedication can drive long-term success in a competitive industry.
One of the most memorable moments came when the students stepped onto the production floor. There, they watched as state-of-the-art machinery precisely shaped and polished countertops, and observed the expert hands of skilled employees bringing designs to life. The process was both technical and artistic—blending automation with human craftsmanship to achieve stunning results.
The tour continued into the storage area, where an array of finished countertops dazzled the cohort. Rich in color, texture, and design, each slab reflected the company’s creative vision and attention to detail. The students were clearly inspired by the variety and beauty on display.
As the day came to a close, the cohort expressed sincere gratitude to Loren Graber for the warm welcome and behind-the-scenes access. The experience offered not just a look into countertop manufacturing, but a broader lesson in entrepreneurship, craftsmanship, and the impact of pursuing excellence in every aspect of business.
