Learn about a past Hall of Fame inductee. By Loren Kessell
Each year, the NKBA calls for nominations for the Kitchen & Bath Hall of Fame, to recognize professionals who have contributed to the growth, integrity, innovation and highest standards of the Association and the kitchen and bath industry as a whole. Nominations are open from August 15 to September 30, and if a nominee is chosen for induction, a ceremony will be held at KBIS 2023 in Las Vegas during the Kitchen & Bath Design + Industry Awards.
We’re highlighting NKBA Hall of Fame members each week, and today’s is Francisco “Paco” Cosentino. He joined his family’s small marble and stone processing business and transformed the company into a global leader in surface materials for architecture and interior design. In 1990, he masterminded Silestone Natural Quartz, developing more than 120 colors and revolutionizing the use of innovative, high-performance surfaces. Cosentino led the group’s development of Dekton, the first ultra-compact, ultra-resilient surfacing material suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
