Starting in 2009, during a time of recession in the company’s principle market of North America, Decolores of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Espírito Santo, Brazil, made the decision to “double down” on its commitment to the natural stone industry by investing more heavily than ever in plant expansion. These investments have been going on continually every year since then. Today, fresh off of a record year for sales and profits, Decolores is continuing its pattern of investment, with millions of dollars of new processing equipment in the factory waiting to be installed.
This year’s expansion will feature a doubling of the diamond wire cutting and automated resining capacity. As usual, all of the equipment is state of the art, and Decolores has developed into one of the most cutting-edge slab production facilities in Brazil.
