From a small marble store in Barcelona, the company was established with 17 employees in 1979 and expanded during the 1980s throughout Spain and Europe. Pursuing diversification and international expansion through research and innovation, in 1990 Cosentino undertook an ambitious project that resulted in a revolutionary industrial plant for manufacturing Silestone®.
Recently the Houston-based Cosentino corporate office relocated from Stafford to Sugar Land Town Center following a $172-million investment in the launch of Dekton®, the most significant new product undertaking and expansion since 1990. December 2013 also saw the opening of the 24th Cosentino Center in North America near Beltway 8 and I-10 in west Houston.
Cosentino Centers go beyond typical showrooms by supporting, promoting and educating design and build trade professionals, integrating distribution with product displays, meeting spaces, classrooms, fully functioning kitchens and event space for demonstrations. Visitors can view the latest product and design trends, receive training on new products and applications, host meetings, network and attend expert seminars.
