Tom Schlough Wins 2015 Migliore Award for Lifetime Achievement

Oberlin, OH and Chestertown, NY, February 11, 2016—Tom Schlough, owner of Park Industries in St. Cloud, Minnesota, is the recipient of the 2015 Migliore Award for Lifetime Achievement. The award was presented to Schlough at TISE 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Under Schlough’s leadership, Park Industries became a leading pioneer in the development of stone processing solutions. Schlough’s creativity led the company to many achievements, including introducing the first diamond-tipped disc saw for cutting granite slabs (1979), developing a CNC router for dimensioning, shaping, and cutting marble and granite (1998), and introducing a system to process full dimension stone into thinstone veneer (2003). Schlough’s entrepreneurial spirit and driving desire to further expand the stone processing industry has also resulted in numerous patents. Although Schlough retired from day-to-day operations at Park Industries in December 2013, he and his wife remain involved in the company as principal owners.
