Henry Rothberg, founder and chairman emeritus, Laticrete passed away on March 17 at his home. He was 91 years old.
While working as a young man in his family’s South Carolina floor covering installation business, Rothberg realized that there must be a better way to install ceramic tile. With a background in science and a degree in chemical engineering from the University of South Carolina, Rothberg began investigating how synthetic latex technologies could be applied to the concrete industry.
