Research & Development
Our R&D infrastructure and innovation vision, continuously pushing the boundaries of surface technology.
Shaping the Future of Quartz Surfaces
The Coante R&D centre was established to develop pioneering solutions in the mineral surface industry. Our team, focused on advanced material science, surface engineering and sustainable manufacturing technologies, is redefining industry standards.
By combining the advantages of Bretonstone technology with our own R&D processes, we develop unique product formulations and surface effects. Each new collection is the result of intensive research in our laboratories.

Innovation Focus Points
Material Science
We conduct advanced research on quartz, resin and pigment formulations. By analysing raw material interactions at a molecular level, we achieve optimum performance.
Surface Technologies
We develop next-generation long-vein patterns, natural stone textures and unique surface effects. Digital printing and vacuum technologies create limitless design possibilities.
Durability & Performance
We continuously improve our products' resistance to impact, heat, stain and UV exposure. Accelerated ageing tests guarantee long-term performance.
Sustainable Manufacturing
We develop production processes that leave a low carbon footprint. We work on formulations that increase the use of recycled materials.
Quality Control
We develop AI-powered visual inspection systems and automated quality control processes. Every production batch passes through 23 different quality tests.
Design Innovation
We closely follow architectural trends and interior design innovations. We shape our collections by collaborating with design studios worldwide.
Advanced Technology Laboratories
Our three separate laboratories at our Muğla production facility support all R&D processes, from formulation development to quality testing.
Formulation Laboratory
The core research centre where new product recipes are developed and optimised.
Quality Control Laboratory
An ISO 17025-accredited laboratory where physical and chemical tests are conducted.
Performance Testing Laboratory
An advanced test centre for durability, heat resistance and ageing tests.
