Description: Concrete Earth, LLC was founded in 2010 to manufacture/distribute products for the concrete industry, specifically in moisture mitigation, high performance concrete, soy based compounds, and polished concrete applications. It has grown to produce US made diamond abrasives, and features Green water based compounds as its primary objective. This year it is also introducing the only complete system for self-leveling polished cement overlay, including the cement mix, liquid color medium, diamond abrasives and chemicals to enhance polished surface, and provide stain/wear protection as (URL removed) are introducing this to market this month, under the tradename TRUFLOR. For the past 7 years, we have branded and marketed under DRYCRETE, which is sold under three separate proprietary moisture mitigating compounds, with individual unique added value properties. In 2014, we introduced INPERVIUS, an admix and cure system, which has been successfully introduced in the Midwest market, and continues to gain ground. We have extensive test data to back our claims, and offer a full coverage Life of the Concrete warranty against internal concrete moisture generated failures for adhesives and/or coatings. Our unique properties offer added High Performance Concrete values, backed by en extensive 2 year study from U of I Chicago. We are in full growth mode, with 5 full time regional sales managers, a national sales director, and in-house marketing manager. Growth is painful, and costly - but our sales in Drycrete/inpervius matched 2016 total volume by end of June 2017. I am looking for an investor to assist in funding our growth, as we anticipate to double our volume this year, with sales representation now in TX and CA. The profit margin on the highlighted products are substantial, which permits the consideration of substantial ROI, and potential equity position. Full financial disclosure is available with current financials thru June 2017. Thank you for your consideration. Patrick Soler
