Gruber offers professional technical training courses for beginning and advanced cast polymer professionals - those interested in producing cultured marble, solid surface, and other cast polymer products for the home and office. Learn what you need to know technically to manufacture and fabricate cultured marble, cultured granite, cultured onyx or solid surface products to make money by selling cast kitchen and bath products to the commercial construction, single-family and multi-unit housing, remodeling markets and other industry segments.


Revenue-generating opportunities exist worldwide by manufacturing cast bath and kitchen products for the home and commercial properties - producing and selling bathtubs, showers, wall panels, countertops, vanity decks, vanity bowls, sinks, trim and hundreds of other innovative cast products. For 40 years, Gruber has served the needs of cultured marble, solid surface and other cast polymer manufacturers - providing molds, manufacturing equipment, materials, supplies and technical "know-how". We've designed manufacturing plants worldwide, and continue to serve the needs of manufacturers worldwide on an ongoing basis.

Gruber offers intensive, hands-on training in these disciplines:
  • Cultured Marble Manufacturing
  • Solid Surface Manufacturing and Fabrication
The two beginner-level training programs (for Cultured Marble and Solid Surface Manufacturing) are intended for those new to the industry, as well as for those who have had experience but want an intensive refresher. For any organization considering entering the cast polymer manufacturing industry, we highly recommend that you have 1 or 2 key people in your organization take the class before starting your business. Hundreds of business owners, general managers, production foremen, workers, and industry suppliers have completed the Gruber Systems Training Program since it began in 1976. Gruber’s training program emphasizes a “hands-on” approach to learning. We believe the best way to learn the proper, most up-to-date, proven methods of manufacturing is through carefully supervised  practice under the watchful eye of an experienced instructor.
