The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) has announced the winner of the 2010 NKBA President’s Award -- Cosentino North America. The company was recognized by NKBA Immediate Past President Mark L. Karas, CMKBD at the State of the Industry Address held in Las Vegas during the NKBA’s 2011 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS).

The NKBA President’s Award was created in 2009 to recognize companies that are committed to helping the industry and the association. “This year’s winner has shown an ongoing commitment to kitchen and bath professionals on both the local and national levels,” the NKBA noted.

“The National Kitchen & Bath Association is honored to present this year’s award to Cosentino North America, a company that has shown great support of the industry by serving as a key exhibitor at KBIS, hosting numerous local chapter events, and demonstrating a renewed commitment to the kitchen and bath dealer,” said Karas. “This firm has clearly been a source of strength for our association and our industry throughout 2010 and into 2011.”

“We are honored to receive this significant award from the NKBA,” said Eduardo Cosentino, CEO of Cosentino North America. “As Cosentino’s presence continues to grow in North America, it's imperative that we continue to support the association and provide the resources and support that kitchen and bath dealers need to grow their businesses and be successful. The goal to strengthen the kitchen and bath industry as a whole is a guiding vision for our company and it’s extremely rewarding to be recognized for our commitment to date.”
