Natural Stone Supplier Reflects on 2019 with 2020 Best Visions & Experiences Ahead

2020 is here and Buechel Stone, provider of best experiences in the natural stone masonry industry, is ready for it! But we wanted to reflect on the accomplishments of 2019 before embarking on the anticipated excitement of 2020. A year can seem so long but it also can go by in the blink of an eye, which holds true for the past year at Buechel Stone. So much has happened in the past year that it’s hard to remember it all. Let’s take a quick stroll down memory lane and relive our year in review.

ROCKSTAR MOMENTS THROUGHOUT YEAR 2019

We celebrated 23 Rockstars’ milestone anniversaries this past year; including three trips to Las Vegas, 10 iPad Airs, 3 Dewalt 20 Volt Combo Packages, 1 limo service/gift certificate, and $4,500 in cash prizes. All of those prizes totaled up to a much-deserved $23,500 in cash and gifts. You can see each rockstar recipient’s individual recognition in our Rockstar Extreme Anniversary Program photo album on Facebook.

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

We made the strategic decision to relocate our contractor and retail sales showroom resources to our National Sales location, just five minutes off of Highway 151 north of Fond du Lac. March 29th was in the books as our last day in the Fond du Lac office. This lead to our Moving Sale. Seven percent of the moving sales purchase proceeds went to any one of the following non-profits of the client’s choosing: Habitat for Humanity of Fond du Lac County, Fond du Lac Humane Society, Children’s Museum of Fond du Lac, or the Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac. We also introduced Buechel Stone to Material Bank, the fastest and most powerful way to search and sample materials.

NATURAL STONE | A FAMILY MATTER CONTINUING INTO 2020

This year we continued to feature True Stories, specifically the true stories of Robin Steudler | Graniterock and Tom Hadfield | TMH Masonry Inc. Both have inspiring stories to share of how they started in the natural stone industry and have grown to be where they are now.

When we learned Ma Buechel’s health was starting to deteriorate late this summer, we retrieved the footage for compiling into a video with photos to preserve her first-generation account of raising a family while building a company so that her memory may live on with Buechel Stone. We were able to use the footage to tell Ma Buechel’s true life story while also revisiting her live #IAm video in celebration her life to coincide with her passing on September 13th.
