What Avanti does
Avanti International (legal entity Avanti Material Sales, Ltd.) is a privately held specialty chemical manufacturer founded in 1978 and headquartered in Webster, Texas. The company develops and sells proprietary injection grouts used to stop water infiltration, stabilize soil, and control groundwater in municipal sewer systems, tunnels, mines, marine infrastructure, and below-grade concrete structures. Its product portfolio spans four chemical families—acrylamide/acrylic grouts (anchored by the 50-year-old AV-100 flagship), single-component polyurethane injection resins (AV-202 Multigrout, AV-254 Gelseal, AV-315 Microfoam, AV-330 Safeguard), cementitious grouts (Ultrafine SD distributed exclusively from US Grout, plus AV-275 Soilgrout), and supporting catalysts and tracer dyes. At least eight products carry NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certification for drinking water system components, and the Ultrafine SD line is the only American-made product of its kind meeting Build America, Buy America (BABA) federal procurement requirements.

Avanti competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Alchemy-Spetec: US-based manufacturer of polyurethane and acrylate injection grouts for soil stabilization, leak sealing, and infrastructure repair. Directly comparable to Avanti across product chemistry, customer segments (municipal, geotechnical, industrial), and go-to-market via trained contractors.
- Prime Resins: Manufacturer of chemical grouts, polyurethane foams, and epoxy injection resins used for concrete repair, waterstop, and soil stabilization. Closely overlaps with Avanti's AV-200 series polyurethane line and shares municipal/industrial infrastructure customers.
- URETEK USA: Provider of polyurethane injection for soil stabilization and slab lifting. Overlaps with Avanti's AV-275 Soilgrout and AV-202 Multigrout applications in geotechnical and infrastructure repair.
Broad incumbents
- Sika AG: Global construction chemicals and waterproofing major whose injection grouts, concrete admixtures, and sealing systems compete with Avanti in tunnels, basements, and water infrastructure. Broad incumbent with Avanti-overlapping chemistries but a much wider portfolio.
- Master Builders Solutions (BASF): BASF's construction chemicals division offering grouts, admixtures, and concrete repair systems for infrastructure and tunneling. Competes with Avanti on large civil-engineering projects where master-spec coverage matters.
- Mapei: Italian construction chemicals leader with grouts, waterproofing, and concrete restoration products. Overlaps with Avanti in tunneling, sewer rehabilitation, and structural repair, typically through distributor-led specification.
- GCP Applied Technologies (Saint-Gobain): Now part of Saint-Gobain, offering waterproofing, admixtures, and specialty construction products including chemical grouting systems. Comparable as a broad incumbent in chemical grout injection for tunneling and infrastructure.
- Hayward Baker (Keller Group): Largest North American geotechnical contractor performing chemical grouting, jet grouting, and soil stabilization. Buys chemistry comparable to Avanti's and competes for the same municipal and industrial injection programs.
- De Neef (Saint-Gobain): Legacy chemical grouting specialist (acrylamides, acrylates) for concrete and waterproofing repair, now integrated with GCP/Saint-Gobain. Direct chemistry overlap with Avanti's AV-100 and AV-160 product lines.
Regional players
- Webac: German manufacturer of polyurethane and epoxy injection resins for structural repair and waterproofing. Comparable chemistries and applications to Avanti, primarily serving European municipal and tunneling markets.
