Rock of Ages Corporation
Vermont based quarrying company
Rock of Ages Corporation is a company in Vermont. It mines granite, which it sells largely for use in memorials, though it also makes smaller products.[1]
It was started in 1885, and has its headquarters in Graniteville, Vermont, which is close to Barre.[1]
There are around 230 people who work for the company. Rock of Ages had a profit of about $800,000 in 2008.[2]
In October 2010, another mining company, Swenson Granite Company, said it would buy Rock of Ages for $39 million.[2]
Rock of Ages runs the largest granite quarry in the world. It is about 600 feet (180 m) deep, and covers about 50 acres.[3]
