Originally specializing in marbles from Greece, MARVA gradually expanded its product line world-wide, opening its first distribution center in Midlothian, VA, a suburb of Richmond, its name was changed to MARVA Marble & Granite. With the business progressing to encompass a more diverse array of products, the name was altered a second time to MARVA The Galleria of Stone. It steadily grew across the southern mid-Atlantic to include five showrooms in Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas. After being sold by the original family owners, it operated for several years under Trajus Surfaces, a division of Trajus.

In 2023, along with its northern sister company EUROPEAN, MARVA went through a final name change as it joined International Designs Group (IDG), a leading slab and tile distribution company specializing in supplying high-quality materials for the kitchen and bath industry. Today, MARVA continues operation under IDG’s Atlanta, Geogia-based company Construction Resources, a diverse family of businesses like Sewell Appliance, ARD Distributors, UMI Stone, Cancos Tile & Stone, and other well-known industry names.
