ARDEX Americas supports INSTALL with Polished Toppings Training
ARDEX Americas supports INSTALL with Polished Toppings Training
INSTALL, the International Standards and Training Alliance, is in the process of rolling out polished concrete training. In support of this training, ARDEX Americas created a polished topping curriculum for INSTALL and implemented the training by providing an instructor. Among the first polished topping training locations were: New Jersey Local 251, Detroit Local 248 and Ohio Local 373.
ARDEX is heavily involved with INSTALL’s Substrate Preparation Certification trainings including: proper installation of patching and leveling materials and moisture control systems.
INSTALL, an association of flooring industry professionals, is dedicated to providing the most up-to-date training for their apprentices, journeymen and contractors. Given the recent industry trend towards polished concrete, adding the training was a reflection of the interest in the marketplace and the desire to help INSTALL contractors provide a complete range of floor coverings.
Pat Cunningham, ARDEX Technical Services Supervisor and Decorate Overlay Specialist, is currently serving as an instructor for the new trainings. “I was thrilled to be invited to be part of the new sessions. I believe it’s an important step that INSTALL is taking to stay current in their course offerings. Given the growth in the polished flooring market, it is a great opportunity for the INSTALL members.”
Cunningham is aided in his efforts by three INSTALL Instructors: David Gross of 251, Steve McCool of 248 and Guy Kappele of 373. The contributions of all INSTALL Flooring Instructors in this new market will be invaluable. In addition, contributions by assorted equipment and tooling manufacturers, distributors and their representatives have proven mutually beneficial. The new polished topping trainings are slated to be held frequently at all locations, and the expectation is to rollout the training throughout the south and western parts of the United States next.
ARDEX Director of Technical Services Seth Pevarnik, also an INSTALL instructor and supporter of the association, said, “ARDEX is proud to be a trusted partner of INSTALL, and we look forward to training the apprentices, journeymen and contractors in this, and future, generations.”

La garantía ARDEX SystemOne™
La garantía ARDEX SystemOne™ acabó de mejorarse aún más, porque ¡a nadie le gusta arriesgarse!
ARDEX Americas ofrece un sistema completo de soluciones respaldado por la garantía de reemplazo total más completa de la industria, SystemOne™. Las Soluciones ARDEX siempre han proveído la máxima tranquilidad para arquitectos, especificadores, gerentes de instalación, dueños de edificios, contratistas e instaladores profesionales de recubrimientos de pisos. Pero se acabó de mejorar: el nivel máximo de garantía para ciertos productos ¡ahora se aumentó a 20 años!
Las garantías típicamente protegen a los contratistas de instalación contra una falla de producto cuando instalan de acuerdo con las técnicas recomendadas de instalación y los estándares de la industria. Si un producto falla o pierde cohesión dentro de un periodo determinado por causa de un defecto de fabricación o formulación, el costo del producto está cubierto por la garantía. Por otro lado, la garantía ARDEX SystemOne supera una garantía sencilla de producto. Es una garantía de reemplazo total que incluye los materiales y mano de obra para las reparaciones necesarias, dando confianza en la obra y la máxima tranquilidad para el instalador al usar los sistemas de ARDEX.
Para calificar para este tipo de garantía, se debe seguir las instrucciones y especificaciones según lo detallado en la garantía ARDEX SystemOne, los documentos técnicos y las prácticas estándares de la industria.
Para educar de la garantía SystemOne, los requisitos y los productos incluidos, ARDEX ofrece capacitación especializada como parte del Programa de capacitación técnica de la Academia ARDEX. Estos seminarios, como todos los seminarios de la Academia ARDEX, son gratis. Cualquier persona interesada en asistir un curso puede encontrar las fechas y los locales en línea, y también puede registrarse para el curso de interés. La capacitación no es requerida para la garantía ARDEX, pero es muy recomendable.

Loba se une con el Ardex Group
Loba se une con el Ardex Group internacional – Wakol se hace accionista mayoritario
Ditzingen, Alemania — El fabricante internacional de adhesivos Wakol está aumentando su participación en Loba, un fabricante global de tratamientos de superficies, y ahora es el accionista mayoritario de la empresa. Ardex ha sido el accionista mayoritario de Wakol desde 2015, así que esta transacción convierte Loba en parte del ARDEX Group internacional.
Para facilitar esta transacción, cuatro accionistas de larga duración de Loba vendieron sus participaciones. La meta predominante de esta decisión es de proteger el éxito de la empresa por el largo plazo. Por esto, la nueva estructura de accionistas consiste en Wakol y Michael Fischer, quien seguirá como socio director.
“En unir Loba con Wakol, hemos podido proveer un futuro muy sustentable para la empresa y preparar el camino para mi sucesión con antecedencia”, dijo Michael Fischer, el socio director. “Las operaciones internacionales del ARDEX Group ofrecen oportunidades para seguir creciendo y para llevar Loba hacia un futuro exitoso.”
Christian Groß, accionista y CEO de Wakol, ve el refuerzo y la expansión de la empresa existente como una meta compartida: “Loba y Wakol han estado trabajando juntos con excelencia por más de 20 años, y ahora podemos reforzar esto todavía más. Estoy convencido de que el ARDEX Group ofrece grandes oportunidades para ambas empresas, mientras a la vez preserva los valores y la cultura de un negocio familiar”.
De la izquierda a la derecha: Mark Eslamlooy (CEO Ardex Group), Michael Fischer (Socio director, Accionista Loba) y Christian Groß (Socio director, CEO Wakol)
Las oficinas centrales de Loba en Ditzingen se expandirán como un centro de desarrollo y producción para superficies acabadas dentro del ARDEX Group. Actualmente, el tratamiento y acabado de madera y corcha son una actividad clave para Loba. En adición, la empresa expandirá sus actividades en el acabado de pisos flexibles tanto como superficies cementosas.
No habrá cambios al nombre, la marca o la estructura de ventas de la empresa, ni a los contactos para clientes y proveedores. En ambas empresas, la organización y la personal se mantendrán. Después de la revisión obligatoria por las autoridades antimonopolio, se espera terminar la transacción hasta el final de noviembre de 2018.
Mark Eslamlooy, el CEO del ARDEX Group, dijo que el acuerdo con Loba crea la oportunidad de expandir su capacidad en el área de sistemas de pisos y acabados de superficies: “La marca Loba disfruta de una reputación distinguida conocida por pericia técnica, productos premium y servicio extraordinario. La fuerte orientación internacional y el nivel muy alto de compromiso de la gente involucrada nos ha convencido de que Loba es el socio ideal para nosotros”.
Wakol GmbH desarrolla, produce y vende con mucho éxito materiales de instalación, adhesivos industriales y selladores. Ha simbolizado la calidad premium y la accesibilidad para los clientes por más de 80 años. Ardex ha sido el accionista mayoritario de esta empresa familiar desde 2015. Hay más 185 empleados en la matriz en Pirmasens, y globalmente el Wakol Group emplea a aproximadamente 230 personas. Fuera de Alemania, Austria, Suiza, Norteamérica y Holanda se encuentran entre los mercados más importantes de venta. También hay actividades intensas en Polonia, Italia y Gran Bretaña, entre otros. Wakol también está involucrado en exportaciones globales.
Sobre LOBA
Fundad en 1922, el acabado y mantenimiento de pisos de parquet y madera han sido el negocio principal de esta empresa basada en Ditzingen, cerca de Stuttgart, por casi 100 años. Loba también tiene sucursales en Brasil y China, tanto como una empresa mixta con Wakol en Polonia y Norteamérica. El Loba Group actualmente emplea aproximadamente 120 personas, de las cuales 97 trabajan en Ditzingen. Excelencia técnica, productos de primera calidad y una orientación muy enfocada en el cliente son los factores clave para el éxito de la marca Loba en más de 60 países.
