Rosetta Hardscapes is a family-owned and operated business founded in Charlevoix, Michigan in 2007. The company manufacturers wet-cast, concrete hardscape products (pavers, walls, steps, fireplace/fire pits, and caps and accessories) that mimic the colors, textures and shapes of natural stone.

The Besser sales organization has announced a marketing agreement to promote the Rosetta Hardscapes www.discoverrosetta.com product line to domestic and international prospects.

"Rosetta enjoys a unique niche in the marketplace with wet cast products that look like authentic natural stone. We're looking forward to showing our customers and prospects how cost-effectively they can complement their existing dry cast products and expand into new markets by adding these distinctive concrete units to their product line," said Duane Rondeau, director of international sales and applications engineering for Besser.

"Many concrete producers are looking for new and differentiated products that will add to their lines," added Rosetta Hardscapes CEO Jeremy Manthei. "We are confident they will be surprised how easily they can leverage their current concrete production capabilities to produce units that mimic natural stone, but that are highly engineered and dimensionally consistent." The Besser agreement, he added, will "greatly increase the number of producers wet casting our retaining walls, steps, pavers, fire pits and fireplaces around the world."

Like Besser, Rosetta Hardscapes is based in northern Michigan. Besser specializes in production systems, molds and services for manufactured concrete, and has equipment running in 130 countries. Rosetta provides solutions for hardscape projects that require coordinating elements, and is represented through concrete producers in the U.S., Canada, Germany, the Middle East and Korea.
