Our R&D infrastructure and innovation vision, continuously pushing the boundaries of surface technology.
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.

We conduct advanced research on quartz, resin and pigment formulations. By analysing raw material interactions at a molecular level, we achieve optimum performance.
We develop next-generation long-vein patterns, natural stone textures and unique surface effects. Digital printing and vacuum technologies create limitless design possibilities.
We continuously improve our products' resistance to impact, heat, stain and UV exposure. Accelerated ageing tests guarantee long-term performance.
We develop production processes that leave a low carbon footprint. We work on formulations that increase the use of recycled materials.
We develop AI-powered visual inspection systems and automated quality control processes. Every production batch passes through 23 different quality tests.
We closely follow architectural trends and interior design innovations. We shape our collections by collaborating with design studios worldwide.
Our three separate laboratories at our Muğla production facility support all R&D processes, from formulation development to quality testing.
The core research centre where new product recipes are developed and optimised.
An ISO 17025-accredited laboratory where physical and chemical tests are conducted.
An advanced test centre for durability, heat resistance and ageing tests.
Market trends, customer feedback and technological developments are analysed.
New product formulas are developed and tested in the laboratory environment.
Prototype products are manufactured and evaluated on the pilot production line.
Comprehensive performance tests and quality control processes are carried out.
Approved products are transferred to main production lines for serial manufacturing.
