About Our CEO
Established in 1986, Fox Merchandising International, Inc. reflects the long passion founder Mr. Charles McLaughlin holds for natural stone.
Mr. McLaughlin served in the US Marine Corps in Vietnam and graduated from Rutgers University in 1973, before managing a masonry company for eight years. It was there his love for natural stone was shaped, inspiring him to create Fox Merchandising International, Inc.
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. All of these factors gave way to Fox Merchandising and ultimately to Evolv Surfaces.
At the heart of Evolv Surfaces is a desire to elevate artisanship, allowing stunning stonework to be celebrated by customers. Complemented by an ardent approach to customer service, the result is a vision and craftsmanship of high-quality slabs like no other.
Currently, Mr. McLaughlin serves as Chief Executive Officer and President of Evolv Surfaces.
