Fabricators from Across the Country Travel to Washington, Call on the International Trade Commission to Save Quartz Jobs

–(BUSINESS WIRE)–American Quartz Worker Coalition:

Dozens of American quartz fabricators, who represent some 50,000
industry workers throughout all 50 states, will gather at the ITC to
speak out against the anti-dumping and countervailing duty petition
filed by Cambria LLC. Witnesses and supporters from the American Quartz
Worker Coalition will urge the ITC to consider the significant impacts
that duties would have on American quartz workers and on the broader
U.S. quartz market. Specifically, the Coalition will warn that, by
creating huge cost increases for imported quartz, the duties would
remove approximately 50% of available quartz supply from the market,
reducing affordable options for American consumers and threatening tens
of thousands of quartz-related U.S. fabricating jobs.

For its part, petitioner Cambria today filed a new antidumping and
countervailing (AD/CVD) petition, this time seeking duties on imports of
quartz from India and Turkey. This is further proof that Cambria is
attempting to abuse U.S. trade law to the detriment of other American
companies throughout the industry.

The American Quartz Worker Coalition is the voice of U.S.
fabricators, distributors, installers and importers of quartz
countertops. The Coalition is organized to protect American
quartz-related jobs and fight efforts by one company, Cambria LLC, to
secure trade restrictions from the U.S. government that would result in
huge cost increases for imported quartz, threatening jobs and the
availability of affordable products for American customers. Additional
