KBB Review feature with Sameer Sawant

Did you see Velstone featured in a recent issue of KBB Review. Our Director, Sameer Sawant, tackled one of the most pressing issues currently facing the industry – the growing concerns around silica in engineered stone.

In the article, Sameer shared critical insights on safety, material composition, and the importance of accurate information.

“It’s been incredible to see the response,” he said. “Since the feature was published, I’ve had so many people reach out via LinkedIn and other platforms thanking us for helping clarify some widespread misunderstandings.”

Sam welcomed the opportunity to comment on such a vital topic. “I was delighted to be able to contribute,” he continued. “It’s crucial that we, as manufacturers and industry leaders, use our platform to help others gain a better understanding of solid surface materials and the real safety implications behind them.”

The feature also helped reinforce Velstone’s commitment to safety, transparency, and education. “At Velstone, we’re proud to manufacture 100% silica-free surfaces,” Sam added. “And we’ll continue to champion smarter, safer practices across the sector.”
