The Tile Business accounts for ~71% of revenue ($25,008M MXN in 2025) and includes 21 plants; Adhesives contributes ~29% ($10,205M MXN) across 14 plants under the 60+ year-old Crest brand; Insulation adds the 15-plant FANOSA footprint acquired in 2022. The company operates a multi-pronged go-to-market combining distributor/dealer networks in nine countries, dedicated regional commercial teams, trade fair participation (Coverings, Cersaie, Expo Obra Blanca, Revestir), digital/AI sales tools, and mobile loyalty applications for sub-distributors and architects.

In 2025, Grupo Lamosa generated $35,218M MXN (~US$1.7B) in consolidated net sales, growing 4% year-over-year with 43% of revenue from foreign markets. EBITDA was $5,832M MXN (down 6% YoY) and net debt stood at $16,128M MXN with a 2.8x net debt/EBITDA ratio, in compliance with covenants. The company maintains an AA+ credit rating from HR Ratings and Moody's Local Mexico and is executing a multi-year capital deployment program, including a US$200M greenfield ceramic tile plant under construction in Tlaxcala (the largest organic investment in Tile Business history), a new Argentina tile plant, Spain production line expansion, and the new FANOSA Rosarito facility serving Southern California.
