Cosentino, the company headquartered in Cantoria, is adding a new point to its map: Central Asia. The group has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with the company Terraluz, which will be its commercial partner in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as Cosentino itself announced this Friday. It is the group’s first commercial presence in the region.
Terraluz will distribute all of the company’s brands in both countries: Silestone, Dekton, Sensa and ÉCLOS. To that end, it has opened a showroom of more than 150 square metres in Almaty, Kazakhstan’s economic capital, in the city’s main design district, and it has its own warehouse, with material and cutting machinery to process and supply the surfaces. According to the company, it is the first space devoted entirely to Cosentino in Eurasia.
The opening was attended by architects, designers, developers and builders, as well as the Spanish ambassador to Kazakhstan, Luis Martínez Montes. There was a ribbon-cutting, a presentation of the brands and cooking demonstrations on Dekton surfaces.
“For us, it is a challenge and a great opportunity to break into new markets such as Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan,” said Eduardo Cosentino, the group’s executive vice-president.
And what does this have to do with the Valley?
A lot. Cosentino has its headquarters and its industrial park in Cantoria and is the province’s leading employer, with more than 3,000 people on the payroll in Almería, close to half of the more than 6,000 it has worldwide, as reported by La Voz de Almería on 25 September.
The same outlet reported that the Cosentino family expects to exceed €700 million of investment in its strategic plan for the next ten years, with more Dekton production in Fines, a new R&D plant in Partaloa and an industrial park in Cantoria that will keep growing towards the neighbouring municipalities.
