The Founder
Robert G. Langhans
I was born and raised in Canada, and in 1987, I proudly graduated from Fanshaw College in London, Ontario, achieving a Business Degree in Marketing. Later on, my journey led me overseas, where I seized the opportunity to further my education at a prestigious university in Muenster, Germany, earning a degree in Economics and Business.
During my time in Germany, I had the privilege of working for a company specializing in PE Polymers, particularly for heavy-duty lining applications. Two years of immersive lab training allowed me to work extensively with various material compounds and formulas, providing me with a broader perspective and invaluable knowledge to support contractors with exceptional expertise. As an Export Manager, I also took on the challenge of rebuilding and restructuring the Polymer Division, enhancing production efficiency and strengthening our team.
In 2003, my continuous efforts to build international relationships bore fruit, leading to a solid partnership with a reputable Florida-based firm TSE. This opportunity led to our family’s move to Florida, where I assumed the role of Managing Director, heading a brand-new German-USA Joint Venture Division specializing in specialty PE polymers for heavy-duty applications. Through this venture, we not only expanded revenue but also brought advanced technology expertise to Clearwater, FL.
In 2010, driven by my passion and experience gained in Europe and South Africa, where I worked on larger job sites and collaborated closely with applicators, I decided it was time to embark on a new journey. I founded a family-owned specialty company, dedicated to serving contractors in America with unique blends of specialty protective and repair products, targeting marine, pipeline, and building maintenance markets. The extensive knowledge I gained over the years has given me the confidence to make a genuine difference in the dynamic and growing field of specialty polymers.
