The history of Creto Worldwide, Inc. starts with a product developed in 1918 to solve the problems of dusting, fracturing and leaking concrete. Throughout the early part of the century, the product was sold in hardware stores and general stores and was simply known as “Creto”. What made this product unique was the penetrating power of the components. It has been known for some time that certain compounds would react with the alkali and carbonates found naturally in concrete, but it took a special ingredient added to this mixture to develop the penetrating power needed to set it apart from the others in the marketplace. In fact, Creto products have been part of the history of modern building; touching millions of lives as they preserve and protect.
Disney World, The United States Air Force Academy, Tiananmen Square, bunkers in World War Two, The Worlds Fair in 1932, and numerous bridges, roads and historical sites have all benefited from the Creto® formulas as they have travelled the world. It is very likely that anyone who is reading this right now has come in contact with our products and have never realized how much they have benefited their lives.
