The humble story of Cosentino starts in marble in southeastern Spain in 1945, and subsequent generations have gradually expanded into more diverse materials and color palettes, so now the company operates in more than 120 countries. And what also began in a small factory is now a vast complex exceeding 27 million square feet where machines, cranes, and robots move freely, loading pallets full of product destined for every corner of the globe.

Together with partner Microsoft, Cosentino is tackling, like many others, how to most effectively adopt and maximize the potential of AI, and it will be the first industrial company in Spain to adopt the Microsoft Discovery platform. This technology, designed to accelerate scientific research, is particularly interesting to a company whose success is based on the discovery and validation of new materials for kitchens, facades, and interiors.
