Countertops: from history to new trends
Breton inaugurates a series of white papers, i.e. guidebooks designed to promote and highlight the characteristics of a given topic.
Through the analysis of trends and materials for kitchen tops and technological scenarios, Breton makes available its 60 years of know-how on the subject in order to understand how its solutions represent a competitive advantage for the modern fabshop.
The contents of this white paper have been created by a team of Breton experts, led by Business Developer Michele Stangherlin, who, by analysing sales trends, aims to provide a comprehensive view of the solutions on the current market.
