Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephen Barton.
Alchemy-Spetec President Stephen C. Barton has been at the forefront of the concrete repair industry for over 30 years. Running leak seal crews in his teens, developing breakthrough polyurethane technology in his twenties and helping grow the market ever since, Barton has been a leader in the field for most of his life.
Back in 2012, after three decades in the industry, he decided to start Alchemy Polymers. He wanted to focus specifically on injection resins for sealing leaks, stabilizing soil, and lifting/leveling concrete slabs. Armed with a clear vision for higher quality products and better tech support, he and his team made it a priority to provide customers with the powerful polymers and painless procedures they need to achieve the rapid results their projects demand. Due to this laser focus, they experienced tremendous growth in just a few short years.
That success didn’t go unnoticed. This past spring Alchemy Polymers was approached by Resiplast US/Spetec to discuss a potential partnership. ResiplastUS/Spetec is widely known for their extensive line of polyurethane and acrylic leak seal and water stop products. After months of discussions, negotiations and planning, Alchemy Polymers and Resiplast US/Spetec merged to form a new business called Alchemy-Spetec.
Resiplast Inc. is a subsidiary of the Belgian Koramic Construction Chemicals. Koramic Construction Chemicals, a division of the Koramic Group, combines the activities of all construction chemical related business of the group; its main brands are Spetec, Resiplast and Cermix. Koramic Construction Chemicals has factories in Belgium, France, Switzerland and Turkey. Spetec specifically focuses on injection resins for leak sealing and soil stabilization. The Koramic Group is a Belgian privately owned group active in a wide range of industrial activities and employing > 6000 people in 15 countries.
Alchemy-Spetec is the first industrial company of the Koramic Group in the States.
