Cosentino will collaborate in the construction of the Rafael #Nadal Academy The Cosentino Group, a Spanish company dedicated to the production and distribution of surfaces for architecture and design, has reached an agreement with tennis player Rafael Nadal to become a sponsor for his Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar that will open soon in Manacor (Mallorca). Cosentino will provide its products for the construction. According to a memo from Cosentino, the high performance sports complex, designed to promote the values of sport among the younger generation, is set to break ground in the fall of this year. It will be a comprehensive educational and sports project dedicated to the values of education, promoting tennis among the younger generation and finding new talent. The complex will consist of different departments: a school, an international tennis center and a fitness center among others. It is also intended to house the headquarters of the Rafa Nadal Foundation and a museum dedicated to Nadals tennis history. The Cosentino Group will support the education and sports complex with its high performance Dekton and Silstone, new ultra-compact surfaces that are conquering the international market of architecture and decor. The latter material will be the material used in various facilities of the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar. The facade, floor coverings and other surfaces of the academy will be made with this innovative material. The plan also to use Silstone in different spaces in the kitchens and bathrooms of the complex, which is being designed by two architectural firms located in Mallorca and Barcelona. Santiago Alfonso, Cosentinos Director of Marketing and Communications, stated that working with Rafa Nadal is a source of great pride for all of us. Nadal is much more than a great athlete. For Cosentino, where we have always been committed to continuous improvement, innovation and the pursuit of that leadership to succeed, this partnership means a great deal to all of our employees, partners and customers worldwide. For his part, Nadal expressed his satisfaction with this new partnership with a Spanish company that is a world leader in its sector, has the same values that I identify with and supports the sport of our country. I am convinced that this collaborative project with Cosentino, beginning with the construction of the academy, will be a long journey and very productive for both parties, Rafa explained. Cosentino was the first Spanish company to advertise during the Super Bowl in 2005. Since then, Silstone has become the leading brand of the Houston Rockets NBA team. The company has also been a personal sponsor of Formula 1 World Champion Fernando Alonso for the past four seasons and with Dekton has been a four time personal sponsor of motorcycle champion Jorge Lorenzo.
