Smooth-On Inc. in Macungie, Pennsylvania, has acquired the Buddy Rhodes Concrete Products Co. from Delta Performance Products in Covington, Georgia. The acquisition was effective Dec. 5. Included in the acquisition are the BlueConcrete line of concrete products and the Buddy Rhodes Color Spectrum including “The Signature Color Series,” “Custom Color” and “Pure Pigments.” Buddy Rhodes Concrete Products will continue to offer cements, CSA, pozzolans, shrinkage reducers, set delay, fibers, polymer, sealers, tools and other related products through its dealer network worldwide. Buddy Rhodes, Jon Schuler and Jeremy French, who have been key contributors to the success of the Buddy Rhodes brand over the last several years, will continue working with Smooth-On to develop and move the brand forward. Smooth-On’s Ernie Dojack has been designated brand manager. “We have been making dry blend formulations across different chemistries since 1895 and will integrate the Buddy Rhodes line of dry blend concrete products into our new facility,” Dojack says. Smooth- On, which moved into a 370,000-squarefoot facility in 2015, will dedicate an entire wing of its production facility to producing Buddy Rhodes products. In addition to continuing to support artisans around the world that offer training on using Buddy Rhodes products, Smooth- On will offer Buddy Rhodes product training at its 18,000-square-foot dedicated seminar space.
