What Res-Tek does
Res-Tek, Inc. is a Cartersville, Georgia-based manufacturer of seamless resinous flooring systems, polymer concrete repair mortars, and concrete deck coatings, founded in 2002 by President Steve Lasko. The company was the first US firm to solely manufacture MMA (methyl-methacrylate) flooring and now produces a full chemistry portfolio: MAC-Guard MMA/acrylic, PUR-Guard urethane cement (rated to 240°F thermal shock), DEK-Guard PU/MMA traffic coatings, XCL-Guard hybrid systems, EPO-Guard epoxy, ISO-Guard urethane and polyaspartic topcoats, RT-05 LM quick-cure polymer concrete, and the Grease Buster maintenance cleaner. All formulations are produced at a single Cartersville facility with on-site chemistry and product development staff, enabling controlled quality across chemistries that cure in as little as one hour and operate across extreme temperature ranges (-15°F to 104°F).
The business is a one-time/perpetual product sale to a closed channel: Res-Tek does not sell direct to end users or DIY customers and instead distributes exclusively through an approved, trained applicator network that is required for the company's joint warranty. Three buyer personas are explicitly targeted - Architects (spec-driven), Owners/Facility Managers (purchase decision), and Applicators (becoming certified installers) - supported by done-for-you specifications, AIA-accredited CES courses, regional managers across the US, and an extensive technical resource library of data sheets, SDS, color charts, and detail drawings. Customer base spans 13 vertical industries including healthcare, food & beverage processing, education, pharmaceutical/labs, stadiums and arenas, manufacturing and industrial, hospitality, automotive, aviation, and public facilities.
In October 2025, Res-Tek was acquired by Renovo Capital-backed AP Nonweiler, transitioning from founder-led independence to a private-equity-backed platform with the founder and existing management team retained. The company cites 15M+ sq ft installed, 10,000+ orders fulfilled, and under 10 warranty claims over 20+ years of operation as scale and reliability signals.
