Early in 2017, Ceramica Verea USA the market leader in clay roof tile acquired SAS USA manufacturer of Altusa Clay roof tile. This was done in order to add the distinct Altusa Spanish S profile to Verea's already diverse product offerings in true barrel, Spanish S, and flat profiles.

In early 2018 we began producing our version of this well-known profile which we call the Caribbean S tile at our state-of-the-art facility in Galicia, Spain. It is very similar in shape to the discontinued Venezuelan and Honduran roof tile but of much higher quality. Our version is much more consistent, significantly harder in transverse breaking strength, and straighter than anything possible on the primitive production lines found in South and Central America.

The Altusa from Venezuela was a very successful tile and was a market leader from 1985 to 2006. Unfortunately, due to Venezuela’s political climate and export controls, manufacturing was moved to Honduras in 2006. The Honduran Altusa tile was manufactured from 2006 to 2016 before beings discontinued due to a variety of quality related issues. The Venezuelan and Honduran Altusa products are discontinued and no longer have valid Miami Dade NOA’s.
