Cosentino: A Double-Doubling for Dekton®

CANTORIA, Spain – Cosentino Group plans to put a big investment on its Dekton sintered surface by the end of the decade – and pump up the return on investment.

The remainder will support commercial investments.

As a result, Cosentino aims to increase the total sales of Dekton, currently at 5% of its total sales, to 20% by 2019 … and generate more than $1 billion in revenue by the end of this year.

Cosentino’s Industrial Park here will also be home to an enlarged and improved Logistics Center—one of the most modern of its kind in Europe, complete with technology to optimize distribution. Investments will also fund new R+D laboratories, pilot plants and areas for exhibition and tests.

Cosentino will also allocate funds for waste management and sustainability, where the company already surpasses Spain’s current environmental regulations.

In the coming years, Cosentino will strengthen its global presence through its Cosentino Centers and City Centers. At the close of 2016, Cosentino had more than 120 business units around the world, and by 2019 aims to increase to 174. The first quarter of 2017 will also mark the opening of Cosentino City Centers in San Francisco, Miami and Montreal.
