At the Helm of the Institute

The Board of Directors and Instructors for Concrete Polishing 101, 201, 301 and 401 are rooted in the craft of stone restoration, where they brought the precision and tight tolerances of stone restoration and refinishing to the art of Concrete Processing through Mechanical Grinding, Honing and Polishing. They are in the field every day, working directly with clients as contractors where they develop their knowledge and experience. Unlike many manufacturers and sales representatives their experience goes beyond word of mouth and demonstrations on sample areas. Their real world experience running a job site from start to end gives the Concrete Processing Technical Institute a unique position as one of the leading authorities on Concrete Grinding, Honing and Polishing.
