DEL CARMEN® - WORLD’S MOST SPECIFIED SLATE

When I first saw Spanish slate more than 40 years ago, I was transfixed. I became fascinated with how strong it is, and how thinly it can be split while retaining that strength.

I then set out on a journey to source the finest slate in Spain, and bring it to customers around the UK.

Before long, I found Del Carmen. As quarries go, Del Carmen had it all – uncompromising quality standards, decades of expertise, and the most stunning blue-grey slate with the longevity to last up to a century.

I met with the founder, Manuel Maestre Vega, and quickly discovered we shared the same values. In 1992, we shook hands on a deal that would see us become the exclusive suppliers of Del Carmen slate everywhere in the world except France and Spain.

We had so much trust in and respect for one another that we have never signed a formal Agreement.

In the decades since, we have used Del Carmen to roof thousands of buildings around the world.
