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.
