Several members of the Women In Stone organization discuss their experiences with the group and plans for the future.
With health and the environment at the forefront, the Spanish manufacturer has reformulated its Silestone collections to reduce the amount of silica in each slab, as well as revamping its production process to use renewable energy and recycled water. Stone World recently had the opportunity to sit down with Valentin Tijeras, Cosentino’s global vice president of product and Santiago Alfonso, vice president of communication and corporate reputation, to discuss the company’s commitment to its employees, customers and environment.
The Natural Stone Institute and Stone World are proud to offer regional one-of-a-kind events. These “Town Hall” style sessions are tailored specifically to the attendees and aim to help those in the stone industry grow and develop by increasing shop efficiency, providing training resources, metrics for developing business plans and much more.
