CREST began its operations within the facilities of Grupo Lamosa, which since then has been recognized as the leading company in the flooring and tile industry in Mexico. At that time, the floors that were manufactured were placed without perfected techniques, which forced them to look for creative and innovative ways to raise the quality of installation and maintenance of their products; This is how CREST, our premium tile setting solutions, was born.

CREST began its operations within the facilities of Grupo Lamosa, which was already recognized as the leading company in the flooring and tile industry in Mexico. At that time, the floors being manufactured were installed without perfected techniques, which led to the need for creative and innovative ways to further enhance the quality of installation and maintenance of their products; thus, CREST was born.
A few years later, the first production plant was established in the heart of Monterrey, Nuevo León. Despite its modest beginnings, it housed a mill where the first adhesive capable of installing high moisture absorption floors in our country was manufactured: CREST.
After identifying an aesthetic need to contrast or match the grouts in installations, CREST launched the «BoquiCrest» grout line, which initially featured 5 shades.
In search of new horizons aligned with its production processes, CREST expanded its market line with stuccos and launched “Crestuco,” a cement-based coating for walls and ceilings, suitable for both interiors and exteriors, available in a range of 8 colors.
Thanks to the brand's preference and growth, CREST successfully inaugurated the first stage of its plant in Santa Catarina, Nuevo León, with modern infrastructure that continues to help meet the needs of the construction industry.
With the goal of continuous improvement in all aspects, CREST leads the adhesive market while simultaneously obtaining the global quality certification ISO 9000 at its Monterrey plant.
As part of the new millennium celebrations, CREST inaugurated a plant larger than the one in Santa Catarina: the Tizayuca Plant in the state of Hidalgo. This modern facility is capable of
manufacturing all kinds of adhesives, grouts, and stuccos, among other solutions.
To improve service levels and increase its presence in the central region of the country, CREST began operations at its plant in Morelia, Michoacán. Additionally, seeking to expand into the Central American market, a plant was established in Guatemala, covering operations in El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
The completion of what is now the most important adhesive plant in Latin America has been achieved, setting an example for all competitors. With state-of-the-art facilities, the plant is capable of producing thousands of tons of products per day with a fully automated system.
A new image for CREST as both a product and company is developed, representing the values and new goals of the proudly Mexican brand.
CREST identified another significant need in the Mexican construction market: waterproofing materials, which previously lacked the quality assured by major manufacturers. Thus, “ImperCrest” emerged, the first high-quality thermal waterproofing material that is anticorrosive and resistant to degradation.
CREST moved to its new offices located in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León; a first-class facility that reflects its expertise, quality, and a history full of success.
In 2014, 30 colors of BoquiCrest and JuntaCrest ULTRAMAX grouts were launched, as well as the urethane-based grout line BoquiCrest Glass and Quarzo.
On January 6, 2020, the first bag of CREST was manufactured in Chile. This event marked the start of production and commercialization operations in this Southern Cone country.
At CREST, customer trust is paramount. That’s why we are committed to ensuring all our product lines meet the highest quality standards. Our plants and production processes adhere to national and international norms and standards, and we hold certifications recognized in the construction industry.
We are the leading brand of adhesives in Mexico and with presence in Latin America, proudly Mexican.
