Custom Silestone for your Home
Founded in 1990 by Marcello Toncelli, Silestone was a new-to-the-market quartz brand that only offered six colors and was only available in Spain. Fast forward to the present and the company now offers more than 90 color options and provides service in over 80 countries. What started out as a small business idea is now a leader in kitchen and bath surfaces, and offers global solutions for all of your quartz countertop needs.
