Celebrating 65 Years

 

As we continue to celebrate 65 years of LATICRETE, we look back at this interesting little piece of history. This photo shows the view from the break room in the very first LATICRETE factory.

In the beginning it was just this small facility in Bethany, Connecticut. LATICRETE has come so far since our humble beginnings. 

Today, with 3 family generations later, LATICRETE operates in 100 countries, with 1800 team members, and with 65 years of history shaping and setting industry standards, LATICRETE is the name architects, designers, and professional installers know and rely on. We couldn't have done it without 65 years of support of our loyal customers.

Celebrating 65 Years

 

It's another Throwback Thursday, and this time we're looking at a photo of LATICRETE founders Dr. Henry M. Rothberg and Lillian Rothberg on a job site way back in 1964.

This photo was taken 57 years ago. The tilers in the background are installing roof tiles using LATICRETE 4237 Latex Additive. 4237 is a specially designed latex additive for use with 211 to make a high strength latex bed, and is still being installed widely across Australia to this day!
