Understanding Cosentino Group and C&C North America: A Story of Growth and Controversy
Cosentino Group: A Global Player in Artificial Stone
Cosentino Group, a family-owned Spanish company founded in 1979, is a titan in the world of engineered stone. Their brands like Silestone® and Dekton® adorn countless kitchens and countertops around the globe. With over 4,500 employees and operations in over 20 countries, they're the undisputed leader in their field. Their journey began in 1990 with the launch of Silestone in Almeria, Spain, quickly capturing the attention of designers and homeowners with its durability and stain resistance. This success propelled them to international expansion, reaching the US in 1997 and eventually becoming a household name through targeted marketing campaigns and Super Bowl appearances.
C&C North America: Cosentino's US Wing
C&C North America is the Cosentino Group's subsidiary responsible for their North American operations. Established in 1997, it played a crucial role in their rapid growth, building a network of warehouses and "Stone Systems" shops across the US. However, C&C North America's recent involvement in lawsuits raises questions about its relationship with Cosentino Group and its potential liability.
C&C North America's Potential Liability: A Question of Control and Knowledge
Recent legal claims paint C&C North America as more than just a subsidiary, alleging an agent-principal relationship with Cosentino Group. This suggests that C&C North America acted within the scope of Cosentino Group's authority and with their knowledge and consent. These accusations, if proven, could hold C&C North America directly liable for the actions of its parent company.
