ISFA Trips - Spain

ISFA Members Visit Cosentino Headquarters in Spain

March 4 to 8, 2019, ISFA members traveled to Madrid, Almeria and Granada, Spain. 

The trip was sponsored by ISFA member and supporter, Cosentino. Hosted by Executive Director of Marketing Massimo Ballucchi, the group enjoyed a cooking show and demonstration at the Cosentino City Center in Madrid. During the show, the group took part in helping to prepare the meal, which even included using a blowtorch to sear salmon on a Dekton surface!

In Almeria, the group visited a Cosentino quarry, fabricator Cuellar Stone, and the Cosentino headquarters and factories. On the last day of the trip, the group enjoyed Granada and took in a traditional Flamenco show. Here are just a few of the many great comments received from participants:

“The trip to Spain was an opportunity of a lifetime. The tour of the Silestone and Dekton facilities really gave me a good visual to how the product is made and is a useful tool in the selling process and training our staff. My favorite part of the trip was the marble quarry. It was fascinating to see how natural stone is mined, live and in person. Thank you again to ISFA and Cosentino for being great hosts!!” — Lisa Storts, Hard Rock Stone Works

“It was an amazing opportunity to visit the world’s largest quartz manufacturer. The sheer size of the operation in Spain is massive. The facilities are state-of-the-art.” — Dave Hammerl, Stonecrafters

“The trip was very informative with regard to the latest quartz manufacturing technology used to create the Dekton product line. The automation process in the Cosentino factory was really impressive.” — Jim Callaghan, GranQuartz

ISFA Fabricators interested in touring the Cosentino headquarters and factories in Spain should contact their local Cosentino Center and General Manager to express their interest and learn more about this great opportunity.
