On Monday, Congressman Mike Lawler visited Imperial Marble & Granite in Ramsey, New Jersey, for a fundraiser hosted by the company’s owners, Shmiel Yitzchok Margeratten and his son, Hershy Margeratten.

During the visit, Congressman Lawler toured the Imperial Marble & Granite facility, getting a firsthand look at the company’s operations, advanced equipment and stone fabrication process while meeting with members of the team.

Imperial Marble & Granite has earned national recognition within the stone industry. Hershy Margeratten was named Stone World’s 2025 Fabricator of the Year, one of the industry’s prominent honors recognizing excellence in craftsmanship, innovation, technology and continued business growth. The award was presented earlier this year at The International Surface Event in Las Vegas.

The fundraiser brought together local business owners, community leaders and supporters, giving attendees an opportunity to speak directly with Lawler about issues impacting businesses, families and communities throughout Rockland County and the surrounding region.

Also in attendance were Rabbi Moshe Margeratten of the Tzedek Association, a son of Shmiel Yitzchok Margeratten, and Yossi Margeratten, Coordinator of Chaverim Of Rockland and also a son of the owner.

Lawler spoke with attendees about his work in Congress and heard directly from area business owners about the challenges and priorities facing their companies and employees.

The visit included a tour of the facility followed by the fundraiser and discussions between Congressman Lawler, the Margeratten family, local business owners and other community members in attendance.
