Following its acquisition of Fairless Hills, Pa.-based Pre-Blend Products Inc., Bonsal American will expand its ProSpec brand of specified concrete construction, restoration & repair, and tile & stone installation products. Pre-Blend produces flooring underlayments, industrial grouts, stuccos, concrete patching and restoration products, and liquid bonding agents, selling primarily to commercial distributors and contractors in the Northeast, Pacific Northwest and Southwest.

The combination of [our] R&D and manufacturing capabilities, along with Pre-Blend’s technical expertise and portfolio of flooring products, will raise ProSpec’s profile as a national construction products brand aimed at demanding applications specified by architects and engineers, says Bonsal American President David Maske. Among Pre-Blend management team members joining Bonsal, he adds, are Tom Herzer, taking a senior business development role for Construction Products; Paul Henning, handling daily plant operations and assisting with sales; and, Pete Trainor, continuing in a senior sales position.

Pre-Blend will operate as a separate entity within Bonsal American, one of the largest producers of dry mix concrete and related packaged building materials. An Oldcastle Materials company, it sells Sakrete and ProSpec branded products through a network of distributors and a direct sales force to professional builders, contractors, engineers, architects, municipalities, and building materials retailers.
