The history of ARDEX can be traced back over 50 years to Witten, Germany where ARDEX Chemie Gmbh was founded by Herr and Frau Fortmann and Dr. Kraft. Products such as Ardurit Z8 and Ardur K15 are firmly established as benchmarks for flooring products worldwide.
In December 2001 ARDEX acquired Norcros Building Products (NBP). The latter has a similar heritage in the Australasian market with Butynol waterproofing membranes, ABA tile adhesives – renowned for their quality and technical excellence, a reputation built over 30 years. Innovations such as Abaflex are unique in the market until this day. Other brands offered by NBP include Superflex under-tile waterproofing systems, Shelter (previously Dunlop) sheet membrane systems and HydrEpoxy coatings.
