Pristine Stone will serve as a primary distributor for Fox Marble as the company looks to grow its presence in the United States with a team that has the ability to sell this unique, high quality marble into the largest end market for slabs in the world. Pristine's founding principals Frank Kaloshi and Tim Seymour have built a company that leverages the combined expertise of Mr. Kaloshi in the high end marble market, and Mr. Seymour as a well-known financial market participant, and long-time successful investor in Eastern European companies focused in the materials sector.

Chris Gilbert, Chief Executive of Fox Marble, said: "This agreement builds on our strategy of increasing our global footprint as we continue to develop further as a fully integrated production, processing and distribution company of pre-eminent quality marble. As such we look forward to working with Pristine Stone which, through our incentivized distribution agreement is structured to help deliver maximum sales penetration of our marble product into the American market."
