The celebration of the Cevisama fair is synonymous with assessments, summaries, and challenges for the future. Talleres Cortés subjects itself daily to this self-analysis to consolidate itself in a constantly changing sector. It is a responsibility for us to be the leading company in Spain dedicated to the manufacture and repair of molds for the ceramic industry and also a benchmark for the entire sector, a challenge that our team faces with professionalism.
As a result of that desire for renewal, www.designscortes.com emerges, the first ‘online’ store for purchasing designs for punches to be used in ceramic molds. This virtual catalog also offers templates, rubber stamps and/or punches. Needs have changed, and so has the demand for ceramic pieces.
Currently, large sizes are favored as the new market trend. Faced with this new challenge, Talleres Cortés responds with investment to renew machinery capable of manufacturing these large formats.
The surface grinder, the new CNC machine, the vulcanizing press, or a new truck, are some of the latest acquisitions.
In a plant that already follows the precepts of Industry 4.0. We are referring to a conception of the factory, a change in the control of manufacturing and distribution that allows the customer and entrepreneur to follow in real-time each step of every element of tooling manufactured at Talleres Cortés.
In this way, the growth of CORTES can be observed in the opening of a factory in Peru in 2009. Expansion to serve demand from the Americas complements exports to Europe, Asia, and Africa. In a global market, the company follows the same recipe it has used since its foundation in 1951: personalized attention, 24-hour technical assistance, and professionalism throughout the production, distribution, and repair chain.
Today, Talleres Cortés maintains its foundational pillars by multiplying its technological capacity through research in large formats and digital inkjet decoration. R&D+i is part of the company's "dna" to modernize itself and successfully overcome economic cycles' obstacles.
