U.S. – Wilsonart Engineered Surfaces, a global leader in decorative surfaces, has signed an agreement to acquire Technistone, a specialized world-leading manufacturer of quartz stone.

The Company is located in the Czech Republic, and successfully exports quartz slabs to more than 75 countries worldwide on five continents. In 2018, Technistone completed significant state-of-the-art investments to upgrade their existing Bretonstone® production lines to increase capacity and improve design capabilities and quality. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in September of 2019.

“We are steadfast in our commitment to provide the global marketplace with a high-quality and reliable source of engineered surfacing options, across a broad range of materials. As the demand for quartz increases in both the commercial and residential markets, the addition of Technistone allows us to better provide our customers high-quality quartz products, combined with the service they have come to expect from Wilsonart,” says Andrew Korzen, VP, Product Management, Engineered Solid Surfaces, Wilsonart.

“Our company has a terrific reputation for taking care of our customers with high-quality products and on-time shipments,” says Radek Průša, Technistone CEO and Chairman of the Board. “Now as a part of the Wilsonart organization, we have even stronger support of our brand. With our increased production capacity, our customers can expect even more as we join the Wilsonart family.”
