History

1978-1987Forty years ago, ARDEX Americas entered the US market with America’s first self-leveling cement underlayment. ARDEX K 15® took the industry by storm. The then-revolutionary, self-leveling technology delivered a faster, more efficient solution than any other product available on the market.
-
1988-1997Our spirit of innovation carried into the second decade in the form of Self-Drying technology. Compared to traditional concrete, ARDEX engineered cements with this technology used the majority of the water in the mix for hydration, cutting cure times to a fraction of the time required for other cements.

1998-2007During this decade of rapid growth, ARDEX Americas moved from its Coraopolis site to a new, expanded campus in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, featuring manufacturing, R&D, administrative, and ARDEX Academy facilities. In 2000, ARDEX acquired the W.W. Henry Company, a leading global flooring adhesive manufacturer, adding a comprehensive product line and three manufacturing plants. Sharing a commitment to excellence and innovation, the partnership was a natural fit. This period also marked the launch of ARDEX Moisture Control Systems.

2007-TodayInternationally, ARDEX has long led the market in high-performance tile and stone installation systems. This decade focused on introducing our full line of German-engineered products—covering subfloor preparation, waterproofing, uncoupling, mortars, and grouts—offering complete solutions for even the most challenging installations. With more than a hundred new products launched, this period also brought significant plant expansions. And as ARDEX continues to grow and add new locations, our commitment remains the same: delivering innovative, reliable products and the solutions our customers need.
