The Elite Crete Systems history, experience and roots in the cementitious overlay industry is deeper than any other company or product line today. "Elite Crete" products were originally created as simply a "Product Brand" by specialty paint and coatings manufacturing compnay called Advan-Tech, who at the time only sold cementitious overlay materials to other companies under private label or re-label. Advan-Tech made the decision to create and launch their own product label line and called the brand of materials "Elite Crete" not to compete with the same companies they were already selling products to, but to go after a sector of the industry that they considered untouched by other companies, the specification segment. There just seemed to be a huge void as it pertained to architectural overlay products being specified by architects for commercial application.
