FRANKFORT, KY – Governor Steve Beshear announced Unique Granite and Marble Inc. plans to expand manufacturing operations in Owensboro, creating 25 new, full-time jobs and investing $400,000 in the project.
“Unique Granite and Marble is a true small business success story, with an owner who saw a need in his community, began filling that need and is now looking to expand the company’s footprint,” said Gov. Beshear. “We’re excited to see these 25 new jobs and a $400,000 investment in the Commonwealth.”

Unique Granite and Marble has been manufacturing custom granite and quartz countertops in Owensboro since 2004, after the company saw a need in the local market and transitioned from home building and remodeling to countertop manufacturing.
