A Wingham firma is providing
some stiff competition for rnanu-
facturers Of artificial marble
products in Ontario these days.
Canadian Vanities Inc., accord-
ing to its president, Gary Chap-
man, is now one of the most di-
-versified Canadian manufactur-
ers in its field.
From its new factory in„ Wing'
ham's northwest corner, the
company turns oat high quality
vanity tops and bottoms, bath-
tubs (both whirlpool and regular)
and wall panels.
All the products are made of
artificial marble, a material that
in its finished state closely re-
sembles the real thing.
Mr. Chapman was reluctant to
discuss manufacturing details
which might benefit a competi-
tor, but described the process l
"very similar to making eal
crete. A filler aground mar
— is mixed with a resin binn
agent and shaped in a mould.
He buys the filler by the true ,-
load from the U.S., as local,pt`0
.
ducts are "not refined enough".;.
The specially formulated ream ads
bought in Ontario by the tank
load.
Pigments may be added -to°
mix for color and, according t
how it is mixed, the color can •b.
used to create patterns in the f".'`
ished product. "Vein" or "swirl patterns are the most popular'.
Mr. Chapman started making
marble more than six years ago
in an old creamery in his home
community of Whitechurch. A
cousin working in the same field
in the U.S. got him started, he re-
ports.
As his operation expanded, he
moved to a larger building in
Whitechurch — 4,500 square feet
Compared to 1,500 — apd then,
within the past year, to his new
17,000 square foot factory in
Wingham.
He started out working alone,
but now employs about 10 people
in the business, which he and his
wife manage. He still handier all
:the sales and is on the road a
great deal, covering much of On-
tario. Asked about signs in the of-
'flce grouping deliveries under a
"Florida run" and "North Pole",
Mr. Chapman laughingly admit-
ted they just indicate general di-
rection; he hasn't expanded quite
that far yet
