CS ( COELHO DA SILVA ) was established in 1927 and has continued to be a family owned business with a strategy firmly focused on quality and innovation. It's drive and commitment has made CS one of the worlds leading clay roof tile manufacturers, boasting a production capacity of 57 million units per annum makes it Portugals largest clay tile manufacturer.
CS uses the very latest technology and equipment for the manufacture of its range of roofing products, for example plaster cast molds which provide far greater definition and consistency as opposed to the run of the mill silicone molds. The plaster used to form the moods is 100% recycled to make more molds and so on.
The local fine clay deposits are a tremendous advantage logistically and ecologically beneficial to the environment, All the blends of clays used for production are stored indoors which is extremely important and of course the all important firing temperature at over 1,100º Celsius helps make the finished product absolutely perfect for cold wet climates.
