The Cosentino Group announced it will expand its manufacturing to the North American market, building a facility in Jacksonville, Florida. Cosentino is expecting to break ground on their new facility by January 2025 with a target completion by the end of 2028. According to the Cosentino Group, this will have an estimated investment of $270 million and anticipates the first phase will generate approximately 180 direct jobs.
"Today is an amazing day for Jacksonville and the state of Florida,” said Laura DiBella, Florida Secretary of Commerce and President & CEO of Enterprise Florida. “Under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, we continue to see international manufacturers like Cosentino expand their global operations in the Sunshine State at a rapid clip. With so many options to choose from in the Southeast U.S., Enterprise Florida is thrilled to welcome Cosentino to 'America's Logistics Center', and we look forward to supporting them as they grow here in Florida.”
In a release from the Cosentino Group, Eduardo Cosentino, CEO of Cosentino Americas and EVP of Global Sales, said: “In the 78 years that our family has been in the surfacing business, this is one of our greatest milestones yet. The North American market has come to represent more than half of our global sales since we established a foothold here in 1997, and has played a pivotal role in positioning our brand at the forefront of the industry. This endeavor is part of our long-term vision and has been in development for many years. We’re confident the new manufacturing facility will propel further growth for years to come.”
