MARKET TRENDS
Over the last many years, access to skilled labor has decreased
dramatically in many regions. At the same time, customers have
become more and more demanding. These competing trends
create a gap between what customers want and what contractors
can economically install. Rosetta products bridge this gap.

This chart represents the hardscape products marketplace.
Traditional Concrete Products are typically high on the ease-of-use
axis, but relatively low on the attractiveness axis. On the contrary,
Natural Stone is typically highly attractive, but relatively difficult to
install or engineer. Rosetta products as easy to use as Traditional
Concrete Products and as attractive as Natural Stone.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN
met with success on a local level. Since
2007, several Rosetta manufacturers have
joined the Rosetta team—covering select
markets in the United States, Canada,
Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Rosetta Hardscapes launched in
Charlevoix, Michigan in 2007—The
brainchild of three brothers who
had spent their entire careers in the
construction industry.
GROWING AND INNOVATING
Responding to the need for a hardscape
product that mimicked the colors, textures
and shapes of natural stone the first
product Rosetta developed was the
Outcropping Collection.

Jim, Mark, and Ben Manthei
create MDC Contracting
Beginning with the Outcropping
Collection, early advances included
the development of a complete line of
hardscape products.
The complete line of Rosetta wet-cast,
concrete products gives Rosetta an
appeal in every market—within the
landscape architecture community,
among the landscape contractor
market, and even in the do-it-yourself
homeowner crowd. This creates an
opportunity to promote Rosetta across a
range of specifiers and customers.
Rosetta’s innovative engineering
resources include on-staff engineers,
wall layout software, design charts,
construction details and much more.
These resources are available both in
print and online and are constantly being
improved and updated.
Rosetta’s full-time R&D department is
constantly striving to find opportunities for
product improvement and development.
