Dekton® A challenge for Cosentino
Dekton® is without a doubt a technological and commercial challenge and embodies the commitment to the future of the global company. The Cosentino Group has invested a total of 128 million euros and 22,000 hours of research to launch Dekton®, which will take place this year worldwide.
Dekton® by Cosentino is proof that you can still continue to innovate in the field of materials for the world of architecture and design. This is a completely revolutionary product that has superior technical features, including very low porosity, very low water absorption and high resistance to scratching, staining, abrasion, thermal shock and UV rays, allowing it to be applied in any climate and guaranteeing the stability of its colour.
Dekton® offers a decorative style that can be used in volume and with infinite design possibilities. Initially, it will be manufactured in a range of colours that fully identify with the natural references of the product, i.e. colours similar to that of slate, cement, rust or natural stone as well as primary colours.
With Dekton®, the Cosentino Group has managed to combine technological and design innovations to achieve superior results in performance quality.
Dekton® also adds to the already extensive and wide range of materials and quality brands to meet the changing needs of today’s consumers and professionals worldwide.
The new product will be manufactured at the Cosentino Industrial Park in Almeria (Spain) for all markets where the company operates worldwide.
The Cosentino Group’s economic investment of 128 million euros includes the commissioning of a new Intelligent Logistics Platform that will be the centralised automated distribution centre.
