As part of its plan for growth in the North American market, Spain-based tile manufacturer Cosentino is moving its U.S. headquarters from Houston to just outside of Miami this summer, to the city of Coral Gables.
The maker of Silestone quartz surfacing currently has a network of 42 design centers–36 in the U.S. and four in Canada–as well as three showrooms and two distribution hubs. Six of its new U.S. centers combine the functions of warehouse, training center, offices and showroom. By the end of this year, the company plans to employ more than 1,200 associates in the U.S. and Canada.
This move to Coral Gables will bring greater efficiency to the management of the North American market as well as better coordination both with the Group’s headquarters in Almeria and with the rest of the continent, according to a press release.
“Without a doubt this move will help us in our objective of expanding even more in the USA over the coming years, consolidating our leadership and being able to meet the demands of this competitive market,” says Eduardo Cosentino, vice president of global sales.
