In 1976, a Norwegian chemical engineer, recognized that if resins were to be used successfully in flooring then it would be necessary to chemically engineer a system that combined the best qualities of the main generic resins, whilst at the same time winning the confidence and satisfying the requirements of the client.

A 1977 survey of industrial clients in the Food and Engineering industries indicated that 95% of them had the same basic flooring requirements, (although not always in the same order of preference).

• Hygienic
• Good looking
• Easy to clean
• Slip resistant
• Long lasting with minimal repairs

In addition, the controlled installation of the floor system would give the only true guarantee of performance to the client. In response to this research, in 1977 the ‘AcryliCon® System' was born. Today the flooring requirements of the food processing and industrial client remain the same as in 1977. During the past twenty years AcryliCon® Systems has secured its position as the foremost manufacturer and installer of industrial floors by consistently proving the longevity of its installations, a longevity matched by Bjorn Hegstad who remains actively involved as CEO of AcryliCon® Group.

AcryliCon®'s Mission
AcryliCon's® Mission To inform those that are not already aware of the benefits of AcryliCon®, that they and their clients no longer have to live with spalling or delamination or floors that fail to meet hygiene, aesthetic, safety and longevity criteria.

The Marque of Confidence
Perhaps the most important of AcryliCon's® benefits is that of long term confidence, a confidence that AcryliCon®, as the foremost manufacturer, installer and warrantor of industrial floors, shares with customers worldwide. AcryliCon® demonstrates this confidence by sinking a dated stainless steel ingot into each new floor, a true mark of confidence for the long term.

Why the Ingot ?
Over the years AcryliCon® has learned some valuable lessons.

• Customers do not always remember how long they have had their AcryliCon® floor.
• Because other floors can be made to look like AcryliCon® floors, we need to clearly identify ‘AcryliCon® Systems'.
• Decision makers can often change over 10 years or more, and marking the floor ensures continuity under new management.
• Prospective clients have trouble believing how old our references are.
• It is important for observers to know for how long the floor has been meeting, or exceeding, the initial design criteria.
• The placing of the ingot is independent of the floor installation and provides a core sample for Quality Assurance evaluation.
• Because at AcryliCon® we are proud of what we do and have confidence in AcryliCon® Systems.
• AcryliCon® does not fear the age of its references - how many other, if any, flooring systems can claim this level of confidence?
