HOW A DECADE OF PARTNERSHIP IS HELPING CAMP COURAGE SERVE CAMPERS OF ALL ABILITIES FOR YEARS TO COME

BY SHELLY NELSON For children and

adults with disabilities, camp is more than a destination—it’s a place of independence, belonging, and joy. At True Friends Camp Courage, those experiences come to life every day: through shared meals, endless outdoor activities, meaningful new friendships, and medical care that so many campers rely on. Over the past decade, Cambria has had the privilege of supporting that mission—not by changing what Camp Courage is, but by helping make it more accessible, inclusive, and comfortable for everyone who uses these incredible facilities.

That commitment recently reached a significant milestone with the donations from the Camp Cambria® Foundation to support the construction of the Cambria Recreation Center, a new $17.7

The Cambria Recreation Center opened in spring 2026. The 26,600-square-foot building is strategically designed to be fully accessible for kids and adults with disabilities.

From the Desk of the CEO

together this latest issue of our employee newsletter, we’re reminded once again that the true strength of our company has never been found in the product alone, it’s found in the people who shape it every day.

Across our facilities, offices, and communities, your dedication, craftsmanship, and pride in your work continue to set Cambria apart. Whether you’re innovating in production, supporting our partners, or contributing behind the scenes, your commitment to excellence is what makes our success possible. We are continually inspired by the way you show up for one another and for the work we do together.

We take great pride in being an American-made company. That identity is not just about where we operate; it reflects our values. It speaks to our belief in hard work, integrity, and investing in the communities we call home. Every slab we produce carries that story forward, and it’s something we should all be proud of.

Equally important is our commitment to giving back. From supporting meaningful initiatives like Camp Courage to honoring service through efforts such as the Military Wall of Honor, our philanthropic work reflects who we are at our core. These efforts are only possible because of the generosity, time, and heart that so many of you contribute. Together, we’re making a real and lasting impact beyond our walls.

Celebrating Our English Language Program Graduates Cambria team members complete an on-theclock program supporting communication, safety, and career growth WE RECENTLY celebrated 13 Cambria

team members who graduated from our English Language Program, including Spanish- and Frenchspeaking participants. Launched in 2015, this free, on-the-clock program empowers non-English-speaking employees by strengthening communication, improving safety, and supporting career growth.

Participants attend classes during their regular workday while receiving full pay. More than 500 employees have participated since the program began.

“We take pride in supporting our diverse workforce and creating opportunities for growth,” said Bridget Prehn, ESL Program and Operational Training Manager.

helps remove barriers to personal and professional success.”

Building on this success, Cambria recently launched a new GED program to expand educational opportunities. Two operations employees are participating in the initial rollout. Each meets with teachers twice weekly and completes homework

outside of class time. Students must pass four tests: Mathematical Reasoning, Reasoning Through Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science. Testing is planned for later this spring, with Cambria covering the cost of each exam. Instruction takes place on-site, with final testing through the local Adult Basic

Education in Le Sueur, where teaching hours are also donated to support community funding. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to employee growth and community partnership, creating pathways for advancement while strengthening connections beyond the workplace for all employees. ✦

“Now it’s about making the most of the time you have.” Natasha has seen that change firsthand. “You don’t take days for granted anymore,” she said. “Even the ordinary moments feel different.”

The experience has also prompted important conversations and planning for the future—from organizing finances to making sure everything is in place for their family. It’s the kind of preparation many people delay, but one Jason and Natasha now approach with intention.

During his time in the hospital, visits from chaplains also helped reconnect them to their faith, providing comfort and strength during some of the most uncertain moments. “It gave us something to hold onto,” Jason said. “Especially when things felt out of our control.”

THE STRENGTH OF A TEAM Throughout his absence, Jason said the support from the Cambria team played a meaningful role in his recovery. Leaders and colleagues stepped in to ensure continuity, allowing him to focus fully on his health. “Once I shared what was going on, nothing else mattered,” Jason said. “The support from Marty, Andrew, and the entire team was incredible.”

Team members rallied to support Jason’s department, stepping into additional responsibilities and keeping things moving forward. When he returned to work full time in early January, he was able to step back into a team that had held strong in his absence. “It says a lot about the people here,” he said. “Having a team you can rely on like that makes all the difference.”

Today, Jason is back at work, back in the gym, and back to teaching fitness classes. He continues to rebuild strength while managing the realities of his diagnosis. His journey is far from over, but his perspective is clear. “You can’t control everything that happens,” he said. “But you can control how you respond and how you choose to live moving forward.” ✦

Support, Plan, Prepare Resources and reminders for life’s unexpected moments SUPPORTING EACH OTHER Jason’s story is a reminder that cancer and other serious health challenges touch many lives across Cambria. Whether it’s a personal diagnosis or supporting a loved one, many employees are navigating difficult journeys. If a coworker is going through a challenging time, small gestures can make a meaningful difference.

Cambria’s Military Wall of Honor A PERMANENT TRIBUTE RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE, SACRIFICE, AND VALUES LIVED OUT BY CAMBRIA EMPLOYEES EVERY DAY

A

t Cambria, craftsmanship, integrity, and commitment are more than words—they are values lived out every day in our facilities and in the field. On Veterans Day, those values were on full display as we proudly unveiled the Military Wall of Honor at the Cambria Slab Manufacturing Facility, a permanent tribute recognizing the servicemen and women who are part of the Cambria family.

The Wall of Honor was revealed during our annual Veterans Day celebration, a moment set aside each year to recognize employees who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

The display prominently features each branch of the military, represented by its official seal, with individual headshots of Cambria employees displayed beneath the branch in which they served. The result is both striking and deeply personal—putting faces, names, and stories to the service that helped shape our workforce.

As a family-owned, Americanmade company, honoring military service is not just a tradition at Cambria—it’s part of who we are.

Many of our employees bring the same dedication, teamwork, and discipline they learned in uniform to their roles at Cambria, strengthening our culture and raising the bar for excellence.

“Working for a company like Cambria means knowing that service matters here,” said Dave Biron,

Senior Vice President of Plant Operations and a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran. “The Military Wall of Honor isn’t just about the past— it’s about recognizing the men and women who continue to serve their teams and this company every day.

It’s humbling to see Cambria take the time to acknowledge that sacrifice in such a meaningful way.”

The Wall of Honor also features a visually stunning centerpiece: a backlit display showcasing Brighton™ and Remington Brass™, framing six custom uniform hats representing each branch of the military. During the Veterans Day celebration, every veteran employee received one of these

INNOVATION

Building the Future of Quartz Processing INSIDE CAMBRIA’S NEW FACILITY IN RANDOLPH, MINNESOTA

A

major new chapter is underway with the opening of the Cambria Quartz Processing Center in Randolph, Minnesota— a facility designed to strengthen operations, create new opportunities for employees, and support the continued advancement of natural quartz surfaces.

More than just a new building, the Randolph facility represents years of learning, innovation, and collaboration across the company.

The site will receive bulk railcars filled with 6-inch natural quartz chunks harvested from companyowned Canadian mines, then prepare and ship the material to the Cambria Slab Manufacturing Facility in Le Sueur, where it will become the beautiful quartz surfaces found in homes across the country.

The project also marks the next phase in quartz innovation and development, building on the experience gained from owning and operating quartz mines since 2018.

TURNING AN IDEA INTO INNOVATION The concept for the facility began with the Research & Development and Process Engineering teams, who envisioned a dedicated campus in Minnesota designed specifically for the company’s raw quartz needs.

Rather than adapting traditional aggregate methods, the team developed a system tailored for quartz—ensuring the material is prepared with the precision required for Cambria surfaces, while also increasing material yield and maximizing the value of each ton harvested.

Turning that vision into a fully operational facility required deep engineering expertise and extensive cross-functional collaboration.

From designing the material flow to integrating specialized equipment, every detail was built to support efficiency, reliability, and

product consistency, including the ability to move raw quartz efficiently by rail, rather than relying on material that had to be transported by truck.

Marvin Bartlett, Executive Vice President of Engineering, emphasized the technical challenge behind the project.

“Designing this facility required us (Top) Aerial view of Cambria’s Randolph facility under construction in February 2026, highlighting the to think differently development of the 36-acre industrial site.

Cambria Takes National Stage with Visits from U.S. Cabinet Officials FEDERAL LEADERS SELECT CAMBRIA TO HIGHLIGHT THE STRENGTH AND FUTURE OF AMERICAN MANUFACTURING

O

ver the past year, Cambria’s Slab Manufacturing Facility in Le Sueur stepped onto the national stage twice, hosting senior federal leaders for visits that highlighted the importance of American manufacturing and the workers who power it. In August 2025, U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer selected Cambria as the Minnesota stop on her nationwide “America at Work” 50-state listening tour, an initiative designed to connect directly with employees across a wide range of industries. Just five months later, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent returned the national spotlight to the plant to lead a high-level discussion on the growing crisis of government benefits fraud.

Secretary Chavez-DeRemer’s visit focused on learning directly from workers and employers about the opportunities and challenges facing American manufacturing. During her tour of the Cambria facility, she saw firsthand how Cambria invests in its

workforce through training and development. One highlight of the visit was the opportunity to stop in on Cambria’s English Program classrooms, where classes were actively in session. She engaged with employees participating in lessons and spoke with team members about how the program helps them strengthen communication skills, build confidence, and grow professionally within the company. The secretary expressed particular interest in the program, noting how workforce development initiatives like Cambria’s English language classes can help employees succeed while strengthening the broader manufacturing workforce.

When Secretary Bessent visited in January, the focus shifted to economic security and protecting public resources. At the Cambria plant, he convened a roundtable that brought together fraud victims, state leaders, law enforcement officials, and community members. The discussion centered on the rising challenge of government benefits fraud and the

Behind the scenes, Cambria teams worked tirelessly to make both visits possible. In preparation for Bessent’s roundtable, the plant conference room was transformed overnight into a government-style press briefing space capable of hosting federal officials, media, and dignitaries. The coordination required

careful planning and teamwork across departments.

These visits marked more than just high-profile events, they underscored Cambria’s role in national conversations about manufacturing and economic policy. Hosting leaders at this level reflects the company’s commitment to supporting American manufacturing and ensuring that the voices of workers and producers are heard at the highest levels of government. ✦

shared similar challenges. Those years shaped Cambria’s belief in the power of camp to connect kids.

This laid the foundation for longterm investments in the facilities at Camp Courage to make those experiences possible.

As Cambria CEO Marty Davis explains, the focus has always been on the campers. “This has never been about a building or a number,” Davis said. “We’ve always believed that kids with disabilities deserve a place where they feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves.

Camp Courage has been that place for so many children, and our role has been to listen, learn, and work together to help make camp better for everyone who comes here.”

ROOTED IN A LONGSTANDING PARTNERSHIP

In 2018, the Camp Cambria® Foundation invested $2.2 million in major renovations across Camp Courage. At the time, the facility had seen only limited updates in its more than 60 years of service.

While the natural setting was beautiful, the facilities needed improvements to continue operating year-round.

Those renovations transformed three central spaces: the Lakeside Dining Hall, the Health and Wellness Center, and the Skye Clubhouse.

Cambria’s relationship with Camp Courage and its parent organization, True Friends, spans more than a decade. From 2014 through 2021, Cambria partnered with the Arthritis Foundation to host Camp Cambria® at Camp Courage, a summer camp experience for children with juvenile arthritis.

added for a fun place to learn more about health and nutrition, and grab healthy snacks throughout the day.

The kitchen was reconfigured for safer and more efficient meal preparation, including allergy-friendly workflows and an elevator replaced an outdoor ramp to ensure full access to the lower level. A renovated fireplace became a warming centerpiece, and the lower-level “Dragon’s Den” was improved to eliminate longstanding flooding issues.

The Health and Wellness Center was completely rebuilt, creating private exam rooms, accessible showers, and improved living quarters for medical staff. Durable, nonporous Cambria surfaces were installed for safe medical care, while thoughtfully named rooms and commemorative plaques honor women who served in the WWII medical corps.

Skye Clubhouse, the camp’s art building, was transformed into

a bright, inspiring creative hub.

With enhanced lighting, accessible worktables featuring Cambria’s striking blue Skye™ design, wheelchair-friendly easels, and thoughtfully organized supply storage, the space now invites campers of all abilities to engage with creativity and confidence.

In 2020, Cambria deepened its commitment with an investment to fund HVAC upgrades for three sleeping cabins, helping campers stay comfortable during warmer months and allowing the cabins to be used throughout the year.

POWERED BY COMMUNITY AND EMPLOYEES The Camp Cambria® Foundation created its endowment by hosting the Camp Cambria® Classic, an annual golf and concert fundraising event that brought together Minnesota businesses and supporters committed to creating inclusive camp

New heating and air conditioning for three cabins

WHAT THE PARTNERSHIP HAS MADE POSSIBLE For Camp Courage, the impact of Cambria’s support extends far beyond individual projects.

According to John LeBlanc, CEO of True Friends, the improvements have fundamentally expanded what the camp can offer.

“The true impact of our work with Cambria extends far beyond the financial contributions. As a trusted partner, they don’t just donate funds or product, they also opened doors for other critical support around the state, helping us navigate legislative efforts.

Their team of experts was heavily involved in the 2018 renovation construction. And many of their

experiences. Through their generosity, over $7 million was raised to support the kids of Minnesota.

Behind the scenes, bringing these projects to life required years of collaboration across Cambria.

Teams throughout the company played vital roles—from the philanthropy team guiding long-term partnerships, to the marketing team creating promotional assets for the fundraising and camp experiences, to the accounting team ensuring every dollar was stewarded responsibly. Operations and engineering teams helped navigate complex renovations and new construction, while the Cambria FabShop and Surfaces teams worked hands-on to fabricate and install durable materials throughout camp facilities. It was the hard work of hundreds of Cambria employees that made this so impactful.

employees have supported True Friends in a variety of ways. “We are deeply grateful for both the financial investments and the profound commitment of time, expertise, and advocacy that Cambria has provided,” added LeBlanc.

True Friends is a nonprofit organization offering life-changing experiences that enhance independence and self-esteem for children and adults with disabilities since 1955. They have three camps in Minnesota.

LOOKING AHEAD Visitors will learn about Cambria’s contribution to Camp Courage through a permanent donor dedication boulder near the Welcome Center, which is a lasting symbol of partnership. But the true legacy lives in everyday moments: a camper entering the pool independently, a goal scored by a player in a wheelchair in a game of Power Soccer, or in the numerous events and retreats that will now be able to be held year-round.

For Cambria employees, this work reflects who we are at our best—building spaces with quality and purpose, supporting our community, and helping ensure that a Minnesota treasure remains a place where everyone feels welcome, supported, and empowered. ✦
