History

ARDEX can trace its roots back from 1949 to the foundation of NORWAG-Werke GmbH in Witten, Germany. Since then the Group has grown steadily to be a leading player in markets around the world with 53 subsidiaries and 3,000 employees in over 100 countries.

1978-1987

Forty 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.

1988-1997

Our 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.

1998-2007

The third decade was a time for growth. ARDEX needed to relocate, we had outgrown our Coraopolis facilities. A brand new, picturesque campus, featuring a warehouse, factory, research and development, administrative and academy buildings, was established in nearby Aliquippa, Pennsylvania.

In 2000, ARDEX Americas expanded its solution offerings with the purchase of the W.W. Henry Company. HENRY® is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of adhesives for all types of flooring installations, and with the purchase came an entire line of high-performing, innovative products and three manufacturing facilities. The two companies shared a commitment to excellence and customer service, a culture of innovation. It was a natural fit.

This decade also marked the launch of ARDEX Moisture Control Systems.
