What Concrete Technology Inc. does

Concrete Technology Industries (CTi), operating as Concrete Technology Inc., is a privately held building materials company that supplies decorative and protective concrete coating systems through a direct dealer network rather than a traditional franchise. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Denham Springs, Louisiana, CTi recruits individuals and existing contractors to operate independent decorative concrete dealerships under its brand, providing them with proprietary products, hands-on training, and ongoing operational support. The company serves two distinct customer segments: aspiring entrepreneurs with at least $20,000 to invest who want to enter the decorative concrete industry without prior experience, and established installers, contractors, and business owners seeking to add CTi product lines to their existing service offerings.

CTi's product portfolio comprises seven proprietary decorative and protective concrete systems: the Legacy Series-Titan Series (durable coating systems spanning legacy to titanium-grade tiers), the Hallmark System (signature decorative texture system), Pro Flake Floor System (flake-broadcast coating), Acrylistain System (concrete staining), Reflective Flooring (high-gloss reflective finishes), and broader Decorative Concrete and Concrete Coatings offerings. These systems are applied by dealers to residential surfaces (patios, pool decks, driveways, walkways) and commercial spaces. Onboarding for both new dealers and existing contractors is delivered through a two-day in-person ProStart certification class conducted at CTi's Denham Springs facility, with scheduled cohorts running through July–December 2025.

CTi monetizes through three revenue streams: (1) one-time dealership package purchases, with a stated minimum investment of $20,000 and no franchise fees, royalty fees, or hidden costs—dealers retain 100% of installation revenue; (2) ongoing product and coating supply sales to active dealers who purchase proprietary materials for customer installations; and (3) ProStart certification training fees charged to attendees. Dealer acquisition is driven through direct-to-consumer outreach via the company's website, a prominent phone number, in-person ProStart events, and dealer testimonials. The company holds a registered trademark on "Concrete Technology Industries®" and operates within the broader global decorative concrete market, which third-party projections estimate will reach $26.44 billion by 2028.
