Celebrating 65 Years

 


As the year draws to a close, we're celebrating 2021's final Throwback Thursday with one last glimpse at the 65-year history of LATICRETE. This small sign in the middle of the Connecticut grassland marked the location of a future building site for the research, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution of LATICRETE products. 

Within 65 years, that land would develop and become a headquarters for global operations. The LATICRETE brand has become globally known for the permanent, problem-free installation of tile and stone. From this small piece of undeveloped land grew a company that now spans the world in over 100 countries.

From all of us here at LATICRETE Australia, we thank you for 65 years of support, and as we move into our 66th year we look forward to celebrating many more milestones with you!
