Products & Services
The Tiffany manufacturing
process is based on the technology developed by Tiffany Marble Molds
International, Inc. T.M.M.I. will obviously not release the
confidential details of the process or their formulation for the
manufacturing of Tiffany Marble and other formulations until the
potential manufacturers have been approved, purchased their mold
package, and have completed their training. However, to assist you in
understanding this industry, a few of the basic raw materials for our
ten basic formulas are as follows:- Polyester Resin (casting)
- Ground Calcium Carbonate Filler (marble dust or limestone in aggregate sizes from 20 to 200 mesh or grit)
- Peroxide Catalyst (MEKP)
- Titanium Dioxide Pigment (a whitening agent)
- Assorted Paint Pigments (dry or wet)
- Gel Coat (A type of material used in fiberglass manufacturing)
With Tiffany Marble, seventy to eighty percent of the raw materials used is calcium-based filler (marble powder or ground limestone). Twenty to thirty percent of the materials are resins, coating, pigments and waxes, all of which are produced in the industrially developed countries, and are readily available in most every country worldwide. Factories producing elegant Tiffany Marble in the various countries of China, The Philippines, Europe and Africa actually import less that 5% of their materials from the US.
After you have completed training, Tiffany Marble Molds Int’l, Inc. will provide the name and nearest source of the supplier for these materials in your area or country. Limestone or marble fillers have an infinite shelf life and can be purchased from rock quarries and companies that grind gravel and other stones for roads and cement. Actually, the filler you need is their waste material. In Florida, limestone costs $150 per ton. In California, about $100 per ton or 5 cents per pound. Yet in some countries overseas we have seen it as low as $40 per ton or 2 cents per pound. It really does not matter, as a ton of limestone will produce a tremendous amount of Tiffany Marble.
Important! Color of limestone or rock filler can vary from medium gray or brown to almost white. We will train you how to whiten any color. However, your filler must be dry, not wet. Size of ground rock or limestone can vary from 20 mesh (or grit) to 200 mesh or grit.
Training & Support
The executives of Tiffany
Marble Molds Int’l., Inc. conduct regularly scheduled training classes
at international training centers in the U.S., Canada, and China, with
a training center planned for Africa. One full week (Monday through Friday)
of training is included with all mold packages. Training includes
manufacturing, factory set-up, maintenance of your molds, and
production. If various languages require translation during training, a
second week of training is available at no extra charge. We invite you
to bring video cameras for use during the confidential training
programs.
With the many advances that have been made by the executives of Tiffany Marble Molds Int’l., Inc. since 1969, the Tiffany Marble training program is extremely thorough. The mold customer and foreman should attend our informative training program. The mold customer may send two persons for training. If you wish to send more than two people for training, there is no additional charge for training, but there is an additional $200 per person for additional materials used during the training procedures (2 persons are included, the third is $200, etc.) In addition to the training provided, a complete and concise set of video training tapes (totaling 20 hours) is included along with two very thorough training manuals.
Tiffany Marble Molds Int’l., Inc. also makes available to the manufacturer, at the manufacturer’s expense, a training director, whose expertise and assistance may be reserved for on-site overseas training after the manufacturer’s molds and equipment have been received. Airfare, lodging, and food, plus $400 in U.S. funds per day must be paid in advance to the training director by the manufacturer. Cost of International Training Directors will vary depending on the International Mold Package purchased.
If a manufacturer hires a new foreman or manager a year or two from now, he may attend any regular scheduled training class at one of Tiffany Marble training centers at no additional charge. We have offered training classes one or two times each month for almost 30 years! Ordinary unskilled laborers can easily be trained to manufacture Tiffany Marble. Skill is actually acquired by continuous exposure to the job under the direction of a Tiffany Marble trained supervisor or foreman (trained by a Tiffany Marble Training Director during our Training Program). A good employee, male or female, can be producing our elegant product with just a short amount of training. As mentioned above, Tiffany Marble International, Inc. will supply training manuals and 20 hours of video training tapes to aid in training new employees.
Base your employees wages on an hourly rate. Many marble plants work with state or federal programs, which will sometimes pay a portion of salaries for minorities or certain individuals with disabilities. We recommend that you apply to these agencies after you are trained and have your plants ready to start production. This is covered quite thoroughly in your training program.
Various marketing procedures include:
Factories producing Tiffany Marble often report that up to 80% of their business is realized from repeat business from their satisfied customers. It is very common for factories producing Tiffany Marble to keep their contractor customers for many years since they are producing the finest quality of marble, onyx and granite in the industry.
