Our Story

When Mr. Caporusso Senior immigrated to Canada in 1984, his object was to be reunited with his family. His first born son and daughter had been living in Canada since the late Seventies. He had a mission: to create work for himself and his family of two sons and four daughters.

During the Eighties, Caporusso Sr. was not only able to create work for himself, but also helped his 6 children to engage in a career within the stone industry in various aspects. In 1999, Caporusso Sr. and his youngest son travelled around the many corners of the world with the goal of acquiring new varieties of stone. The reason behind the trip being many of their larger projects required a variety of exotic colours from different climates.

The materials in turn would be used for one of the largest residential projects in North America, appropriately named 'The Jewel of the North', totalling over 56,000 square feet. On that excursion, he and his son made the decision to create and develop World Stone, a company that would be dedicated to importing natural stones; granite, marble and lime stone amongst others.

Caporusso Sr. would eventually entrust his son to carry on with his company, which is strictly dedicated to manufacturing finished product to a variety of contractors, builders, designers, architects and home owners. In early 2000 the stone industry would rapidly evolve, in turn becoming more competitive due to the expanding Asian market and a higher demand for product.

Although Mr. Caporusso Sr. is presently retired, he still helps his children in maintaining the same objective of being self employed in the stone industry, and providing a quality product and workmanship to their clientel. Presently, Mr. Caporusso Jr. is involved in the manufacturing process; he is also the North American director of CAMA, an Italian company that manufactures equipment for the stone industry. With his expertise, Caporusso Jr. has helped several industry-based companies throughout North America acquire the proper machinery and training for their businesses.

In recent times, his children are carrying on in all aspects of the stone business to create work for the next generations of the family. Their mission statement is not only to create work, but to be customer driven and give 100% satisfaction to all clients by providing the most beautiful quality material, installed with experienced workmanship. It's like Junior would say, "The stone is cool to the touch and warm to the eyes". With their accurate knowledge of the industry, the ITAL Group is your reliable source for any help or assistance in any future endeavors.
