Scientific background and links with the University of Granada
TESELA was founded as a spin-off from the University of Granada, drawing on the knowledge generated in the field of construction materials and their application to architectural heritage. This scientific link forms part of the company’s origins and specialisation.
Among its founding members is Eduardo Sebastián Pardo, a professor in the Department of Mineralogy and Petrology and principal investigator of the ‘Study and Conservation of Building Materials in Architectural Heritage’ research group at the University of Granada.
Multidisciplinary experience
The TESELA team combines expertise in chemistry, engineering, geology, conservation and restoration, architecture, materials and innovation. This multidisciplinary approach enables us to undertake projects involving analysis and characterisation, heritage assessment, materials development and technical support throughout the various stages of a restoration project or R&D project.
