"Benchmark means the standard by which all others are measured. Both companies, Benchmark and Gemstone, throughout our histories have desired to be the best in what we do. While the word is the same, how we use it in our branding and culture will be different and more powerful," said Benchmark CEO Alex Cabanas.
