The History
Established in 1986, Fox Merchandising International, Inc. reflects the passion that their founder Mr. Charles McLaughlin holds for natural stone. In his career he has visited the world's finest quarries and manufacturing plants to uncover the best techniques in both the art and science of stonemasonry. Mr. McLaughlin's desire to bring to this industry a unique line of surface materials that are naturally processed and can take on several different applications, allowed him to usher in FM Distributing. As the business expanded, the vision and growth made a natural progression into launching Evolv Surfaces.

The Offerings 
Evolv Surfaces is the exclusive distributor of Neolith sintered stone throughout parts of the western United States. Neolith is a new surface material crafted using breakthrough technology to produce large slabs that are stain, scratch, chemical and heat resistant. With its large format, toughness and thin profile, there is no limit to its indoor and outdoor applications. Façades, countertops, flooring and furniture are just a few of Neolith's residential and commercial uses. Neolith is mold/mildew-resistant and performs perfectly in freeze-thaw environments making this product as unlimited as your imagination.

Evolv Surfaces is also an exclusive supplier of Diresco, the creator of the only engineered UV stable quartz slab product and a leader in BIO-UV Technology. Diresco's slabs are made from a bio-resin rather than a chemical resin, making it much better for the environment. Originating in Belgium, these inspired products are extremely stain, heat, scratch and UV resistant. Built to last on 100% Breton technology, Diresco slabs are fabricated to the highest standards by a responsible process that ensures all products contribute to a sustainable future. Diresco surface materials provide beauty and usefulness with environmental integrity.

The Launch
Evolv Surfaces comes into its own at KBIS with a mission to offer innovative surface materials that inspire creative design and only supply environmentally sustainable products that are reflective of its use. With a kick off launch on February 19th of their new name, Evolv aspires to be the curators of inspirational surface materials used with purpose and environmental thoughtfulness by designers, architects, and visionaries that touch and create your space.
