Cosentino opens new UK headquarters

A worldwide leader in the production and distribution of quartz surfaces and natural stone, Cosentino has invested over half a million pounds in its new UK headquarters. Based at a new industrial development, Bartley Point in Hook, Hampshire, the headquarters are located half a mile away from junction 5 of the M3, with easy access to major transport links including the M4, M25 and Heathrow Airport.

Managing Director for Cosentino UK, Christophe Gontier says: “Due to rapid growth and expansion, the decision was made to open a larger UK headquarters with a state of the art warehouse that meets the increasing demand from commercial and consumer customers for Cosentino products. This is a fantastic achievement for the UK and we are looking forward to continuing the development of the Cosentino brands even further.”

The impressive 40,196 square foot UK Cosentino Centre will benefit from a large 37,046 square foot warehouse that will carry over 4000 slabs of stock, including Silestone quartz worksurfaces, Sensa Granite worktops and ECO by Cosentino, a revolutionary new recycled surface made from 75% recycled material.

The aim is to soon have three lorries with a capacity of 44 tons a day, ensuring fast delivery times to fabricators who in turn can deliver quickly to their customers. A training room that seats 50 people will be used for international and local meetings as well as staff training and briefings. All Silestone dealers are specially trained and accredited, with major training events happening several times a year. Set display areas within the headquarters will showcase the stunning Cosentino product ranges for end users, architects, designers, builders and Stonemasons to visit, by appointment.

The Cosentino Centre concept is an ambitious project by Cosentino to transform its warehouses in Spain and Europe into a fully integrated service for its customers in the architecture, design and stone industry. Cosentino Centres will offer an excellent, high quality service, incorporating a showroom, storage facilities, offices and a training room, which can be visited by architects, interior designers, fabricators and kitchen and bathroom studios.
