Global surfacing brand Cosentino celebrated the 22nd anniversary of C100 – the annual convention that brings together the brand’s top partners and customers to learn how Cosentino will drive innovation in design, manufacturing technology and safety for the surfacing industry in 2020 and in the years to come. This year, the company gathered a record number of attendees once again, with more than 360 individuals representing 164 manufacturing and processing companies from across the United States and Canada.
Representatives from the region’s most important industry associations accepted Cosentino’s invitation once again, including the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the International Surface Fabricators Association (ISFA) and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), among others.
The theme for this year’s convention, which took place earlier this month, was “Committed to the Future. Committed to You,” with which the multinational firm aimed to convey to all attendees its vision to build a prosperous, safe, sustainable industry together for the future.
“We are in the midst of an era of profound change that is challenging us to be competitive, agile and socially conscious,” said Francisco Martínez-Cosentino, president of the Cosentino Group, during his opening speech. “From a business perspective, we have to reinforce the integration of environmental measures and values, in addition to further improving our occupational health and safety policies and continuing our digital transformation.
“In the same way, we have to adapt to the needs of our clients and users. In our case, we must pursue innovation to develop responsible and competitive products in this increasingly global industry, in order to create a sustainable and long-term sector.”
Finally, this edition of Cosentino 100 served as the perfect setting to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Eduardo Cosentino’s appointment as CEO of Cosentino North America, the subsidiary of the group that manages this important market from its headquarters in Miami.
