ARDEX Americas

When ARDEX Americas started back in 1978, we began a tradition of innovation and excellence as we introduced the first self-leveling cement product available in the market. Today we continue in that tradition, and build upon our vision to be one of the world’s leading solution providers of high performance specialty building materials.

2000 aliquippa campus
ARDEX built an expansive campus on property in picturesque Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. It includes a plant, training center, research and development space as well as an administrative building. The administrative building was modeled after the original building on the Coraopolis campus.

1993

1993 Dallas powder
The launch of another flagship product, ARDEX FEATHER FINISH®, occurred this year. This patch featured the revolutionary self-drying technology and its unprecedented, superior performance outperformed anything else available in the marketplace.

1988

1988 coraopolis campus
The ARDEX campus in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania grew over the years. The warehouse expansion was actually built directly around the existing warehouse, to avoid interrupting production.

1986

ARDEX continues its growth with a dedicated sales, technical and marketing focus in the region of Canada. This expansion directly services key customers throughout North America. Pictured is our Mississauga, Ontario training facility.

1980

1980 first computer
This is an IBM PC 5150 Type B: ARDEX’ very first computer. It came with 64 KB of ram on the motherboard, and the maximum memory was 256 KB, which is about the size of a single picture on this webpage. All work had to be saved on blank floppy disks, and we used it primarily to mailmerge customer letters and for financial spreadsheets. We’ve come a long way!

1978

1978 goller
ARDEX Americas was founded by Herbert Goller on March 13, 1978. He traveled to the US from Germany with his family, and settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With his trademark enthusiasm and passion, he pioneered the introduction of self-leveling technology in the Americas. He established the ARDEX tradition of hard work and dedication to excellence that continues today.
