LATICRETE, a global leader in the manufacturing of innovative systems for the installation of tile and stone, to show its support for the Collier Building Industry Association in Naples, Florida, has purchased an engraved brick to be placed in the stone path to the organization’s South Florida headquarters.

LATICRETE co-owner Henry Rothberg stays in close connection with a former distributor in Tom Dardis from CBIA and now Affordable Floors, and the two set in motion the LATICRETE participation for the fundraiser that’s been an important success for the association.
