GIBSONIA, PA – Bon Tool Company, a leading manufacturer of professional-grade construction tools and equipment, recently announced the acquisition of ArtCrete, a Louisiana-based company specializing in decorative concrete and stencil systems. The acquisition will fall under Bon Tool’s growing Bonway™ Decorative Concrete Division, reinforcing Bon’s commitment to serving the decorative concrete market with high-quality, innovative solutions.
“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.
