Development of cultural stone
At the beginning, CORONADO pioneered the use of plastic molds to create the first concrete artificial stone. At that time, the process was still in its early stages, leading to inconsistent quality and unappealing colors. However, despite these shortcomings, the material had unique advantages—its lightweight nature made it easy to handle, and it could be mass-produced with customizable colors, setting it apart from natural stone. Initially, it was mainly used for church facades, where its aesthetic appeal and versatility began to shine. In 1958, another family recognized the potential of this innovative product and decided to enter the market. They founded a company called Stone Products and started producing similar stones, closely imitating those from California. As demand grew, Stone Products expanded rapidly. By the 1970s, they had reached the western side of the Mississippi River. Employees of Coronado even suggested to their boss, Mel, that he explore new markets beyond California. Eventually, he licensed his technology to a small factory and earned revenue through technology transfers. By the end of the 1970s, Stone Products had grown into a nationwide business, covering most of the United States. It was later acquired by Owens and rebranded as Culture Stone. As Culture Stone continued to evolve, the company remained innovative. Every time they encountered a new type of stone, they would study it and develop new products accordingly. This approach led to the accumulation of various styles and an ever-expanding range of colors and designs. Over time, cultural stone became more diverse and adaptable, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.
