AUSTIN, Texas— January 9, 2025 — Vadara Quartz Surfaces, a leading manufacturer of artisan handcrafted quartz surfaces, has begun an international expansion through a distribution partnership with The Thomas Group and their brand, The Surface Collection. The Thomas Group has been serving the United Kingdom since 1946.
After years of establishing a track record in the US, Vadara has set sights on expanding into key international markets by capitalizing on its innovative designs, streamlined operations, and keen insight into local customer preferences.
“In the United States, Vadara has built a reputation for quality and innovation, and now is the ideal time to bring tailored solutions to diverse global markets, stated Erik Butler, the Chief Operating Officer at US Surfaces, Vadara’s parent company. “With a focus on meeting unique tastes, budgets, and lifestyles of our customers worldwide, Vadara is ready to expand its footprint and continue its growth internationally.”
The partnership between Vadara and The Thomas Group was born from a mutual goal of bringing premium handcrafted quartz products, curated color palettes, and a diverse range of pricing options to the UK. Vadara recognizes that strong regional teams depend on the foundation of local leaders who understand their markets and excel at navigating diverse channels. Additionally, The Thomas Group’s logistical prowess is an asset that is well-suited to support Vadara’s vertically integrated supply chain.
“Vadara operates two state-of-the-art plants with 34 production lines to meet the growing global demand for our products effectively,” Andrew Evans, VP of Global Sales & Marketing at LE Surfaces, Vadara’s manufacturing counterpart, added. “By producing our raw materials and maintaining the highest quality control standards, we ensure that we consistently deliver on the needs and expectations of our clients worldwide,” Evans concluded.
After studying the competitive landscape in the UK, Vadara is confident in its ability to provide a highly differentiated product to the market with its handcrafted designs that are virtually indistinguishable from natural stone, allowing consumers to afford the look of marble and quartzite at a lower price point with the added benefit of durability and ease of maintenance.
Global expansion will remain a priority for Vadara, as they have chosen Australia for their subsequent international market activation. Vadara is also exploring further growth opportunities across Europe, Southeast Asia, South America, and other high-potential regions.
