Twintec USA is proud to announce that it has acquired Kalman Floor Company. Julien Lazzari, Twintec Group CEO, stated that synergising the core competences and knowledge in design & construction excellence of both companies will provide an outstanding total offer concept for the USA market.

"Twintec USA is confident that the acquisition of Kalman will support its ambitious growth plans in North America and is committed to continue to add value for existing and new customers. Key personnel from Kalman will remain as part of the new Twintec USA team, further strengthening the local Twintec workforce and with an extended fleet of concrete flooring laying equipment that will enable multiple projects to be constructed simultaneously across the USA. With this acquisition, Twintec USA is now able to offer in-house design and self-perform the building of steel fiber reinforced concrete industrial floors and shrinkage compensating concrete, including the well-known toppings for which Kalman is renowned."   M. Loisel, CEO Twintec USA


"The combination of Twintec’s advanced engineering and excellence in steel fiber design and construction with Kalman’s expertise as leading technologists and builders of shrinkage compensating concrete slabs and strong reputation for service and support will be a great benefit to existing and new clients. Clients will continue to enjoy joint-free systems, extremely durable wearing surfaces, with the additional benefit of structural changes to slab composition, low life cycle cost, and increased user satisfaction".
