The acquisition will fall under Bon Tool’s growing Bonway Decorative Concrete Division, reinforcing Bon’s commitment to serving the decorative concrete market.
“We’re thrilled to have Bon Tool Company and Bonway take the reins,” said Frank Piccolo, former principal of Artcrete. “Their deep experience in decorative concrete gives us great confidence that the Artcrete product line will thrive under their leadership. We wish them continued success in this new chapter.”
ArtCrete has been a pioneer in the decorative concrete industry for over 30 years, offering a trusted product line that includes non-adhesive and adhesive paper stencils, liquid and powder release agents, color hardeners, antiquing agents, overlays, and other specialty decorative concrete tools and accessories.
These products are now available through Bon Tool, further expanding Bonway’s offerings to meet the evolving needs of contractors and decorative concrete professionals nationwide.
“The decorative concrete segment has seen steady growth since before COVID, and it continues to expand as residential and commercial projects demand more aesthetic, durable surface solutions,” said Jim Oros, product line Manager at Bonway Division. “ArtCrete’s proven products and strong industry reputation are an excellent fit within our Bonway Decorative Concrete Division.”
With operations based in Louisiana, the addition of ArtCrete also strengthens Bon Tool’s presence in the southern United States.
“This regional footprint will allow for faster shipping, improved local inventory, and enhanced support for customers throughout the South and beyond.,” said Al Poston, production manager, Bonway Division.
Bon Tool’s Bonway Division now offers one of the most comprehensive selections of decorative concrete tools, materials, and accessories in the industry.
This acquisition brings Bon Tool’s total product offerings to well over 10,000 SKUs, supported by a nationwide network of distributors and a customer-centric online platform at www.bontool.com.
“I’m pleased to see Artcrete acquired by a strategic buyer whose values align closely with ours,” said Richard Gill, former president of Artcrete. “We’re especially encouraged by Bon Tool’s commitment to retaining our workforce and their plans to grow employment right here in our parish.”
