Ceramic tile manufacturer Daltile acquired Cerámica San Lorenzo’s North American operations. This includes a Mexicali, Mexico, -based manufacturing facility along with a warehouse and showroom in Southern California. This brings the number of North American manufacturing plants owned by the company to 11. The new facility makes tile under the “San Lorenzo” brand for the builder, remodeling and commercial segments of the industry. John Turner, Jr., president of Daltile, was reported to have said that the company will invest in the Mexican plant to enhance its capabilities.

Additionally, the company is in the process of building a 12th ceramic tile manufacturing plant and distribution center in Dickson, Tenn, which is scheduled to open this year and begin full-scale production by early next year.
