Welcome to Penn Big Bed Slate Company Inc.
Headquartered in Slatington, Pennsylvania since 1934, PBBS mines and manufactures slate products, and distributes slate products from other North American quarries. It also imports slate products when needed.
Our products are used in roofing, construction, and architectural applications such as windowsills, countertops, mantles, lavatories, fireplaces, floor tiles, and numerous other applications. We also make a wide variety of slate for turkey calls and craft slate.
Slate has endured as one of the most desired products for architectural and custom design work. Its uniqueness as a building material lies in its inherent capacity for shearing into flat sheets of nearly any size. This quality presented slate as one of the most desirable materials for roofing, and its durability and texture lend elegance certain to last long beyond an edifice’s original luster. Today, slate is still in high demand, especially in the U.S., where discriminating buyers and designers specify it for commercial and residential alike.
Many of these buyers seek Pennsylvania slate for its beauty and resilience, and PBBS is the leading supplier of Pennsylvania slate to customers across the nation.
