Dallas—Dal-Tile, a leading manufacturer of ceramic tile and natural stone products in North America, has acquired the North American operations of Cerámica San Lorenzo.
The purchase includes a modern manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico, and a product showroom and warehouse in Southern California. The plant is Dal-Tile’s 11th manufacturing facility in North America; it produces tile collections under the San Lorenzo brand for the builder, residential remodeling and commercial segments.
“This addition further strengthens our industry-leading manufacturing capabilities, which are focused on delivering stylish, high performance and innovative tile products to our customers,” said John Turner, Jr., president of Dal-Tile. “This acquisition will support our rapid growth in Mexico, and strengthens our competitive position, especially in the West and Southwest U.S.”
Dal-Tile is also currently building a state-of-the-art ceramic tile manufacturing facility and distribution center in Dickson, Tenn. The Dickson plant is scheduled to open later this year and will begin full-scale tile production in early 2016.
