Cosentino’s roots were formed in the 1940s, when Eduarda and Eduardo Cosentino - parents of the current owners of the group - began quarrying and basic processing of marble in Macael. Marmoles Cosentino S.A. was founded in 1979, and the company supplied marble for several landmark building projects in Spain over the course of the 1980s.
Ultimately, the company expanded its operations to include the production of Silestone quartz surfacing in 1990. This product has been used in both residential and commercial spaces, and it has been widely used and promoted for kitchen countertops throughout the U.S.
