Expanding Product Capabilities Following Strategic Acquisitions of Artcrete and Haivala

Bon Tool Co., a global leader in professional construction tools since 1958, today announced continued expansion of its product portfolio and manufacturing capabilities following the recent acquisitions of Artcrete and Haivala Concrete Tools.

These strategic additions strengthen Bon Tool’s position across decorative concrete, flatwork, and plaster/stucco applications, while reinforcing its commitment to innovation, value, and service.

Over the past year, Bon Tool has integrated Artcrete into its Decorative Concrete division, Bonway, significantly expanding offerings in surface design and finishing systems. At the same time, the addition of Haivala’s respected finishing tool line enhances Bon Tool’s footprint in concrete flatwork with time-tested designs trusted by professionals.

“Bringing Artcrete and Haivala into the Bon Tool family allows us to serve contractors more completely from surface prep to final finish,” said Dan Rice, National Sales Manager, “Even in a more measured market, we see opportunity to invest in product development and deliver real value to our customers.”

Expanded Capabilities

Through the Artcrete integration, Bon Tool now offers a comprehensive range of decorative, surface, and vertical enhancement solutions, including:

  • Decorative Concrete Stencils available in full rolls, half rolls, mini rolls, and specialty patterns
  • Plaster and Stucco Adhesive Stencil Sheets in .045″ and .022″ thicknesses, as well as roll formats
  • Advanced Overlay Resin Systems for resurfacing and customization
  • Surface1™ Concrete Finishing Aid, designed to extend workable surface time and improve finish quality
  • Enhanced blending capabilities, allowing contractors to mix and match color hardeners and release agents for unique finishes

These additions enable contractors to achieve more customized, high-quality finishes across both concrete and vertical applications.

Strengthened Flatwork Line with Haivala Tools

The acquisition of Haivala brings a legacy of craftsmanship into Bon Tool’s flatwork category, including:

  • Precision Edgers, Groovers, and Sliders
  • Durable Cast Magnesium Floats
  • Field-proven designs built for balance, control, and finish consistency

These tools complement Bon Tool’s existing lineup, offering professionals reliable performance from placement through finishing.

Positioned for Growth

With expanded manufacturing integration underway at Bon Tool’s Gibsonia, Penn., facility and enhanced distribution through its three U.S. locations, the company is positioned to deliver faster service and broader product availability nationwide.

“Contractors today are looking for efficiency, reliability, and solutions that help them do more with every job,” added Tom Harford. “Our expanded lineup reflects that—giving them the tools and materials to complete projects with confidence.”
