This week, the Prince of Spain presided over the opening ceremony of a new Cosentino Group industrial plant. The plant where the Spanish multinational will manufacture its new and innovative ultra compact surface, Dekton.
The Dekton by Cosentino plant has been a technological challenge and it is one of the largest industrial investments made in Spain in recent years. Currently it boasts a 70,000 m2 extension and a production line. In the future, three further production lines may be added, which will bring the total surface area to 200,000 m2 and total production capacity will reach 6,000 slabs per day.
Dekton is the new ultra-compact surface developed by the Spanish multinational company. It creates a revolutionary product within its sector and was developed to be the global market leader of surfaces for architecture and design. This groundbreaking product is the result of more than five years of intensive work, a financial investment of 128 million euros and 22,000 hours of research by the Cosentino Group R&D department.
The opening ceremony and subsequent site visit to the Cosentino facilities was also attended by the Minister of Industry, José Manuel Soria; on behalf of the Spanish Government the President of the Junta de Andalucía, José Antonio Griñán and the Andalucía Minister of Economy and Innovation, Antonio Ávila, as well as other regional and local authorities. The Cosentino Group Chairman, Francisco Martínez-Cosentino and other members of the company’s Board of Directors accompanied them at all times.
