Kalman Floor Company installs industrial concrete floors in all types of large distribution and warehousing facilities. In its 90-year existence, Kalman has installed floors in all 50 of the United States and internationally in countries such as Australia, Canada, Italy, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. How it all began… In 1916, Kalman was founded in St. Paul, Minnesota by Paul J. Kalman on the basis of a patented ¾” dense, durable, non-dusting industrial concrete topping process called absorption process. In 1923, Kalman was incorporated in Delaware and relocated its offices to Chicago, Illinois. Ten years later, C. Frederick Ytterberg (grandfather of Kalman’s current president) became president of the company when Paul J. Kalman resigned and the offices relocated to New York City. During Frederick’s tenure as president, Kalman obtained the registered trademark for Absorption Process® concrete floor topping and began installing steel bar as armor in construction joints, two highly effective processes that are still used in today’s Kalman floors. The company began installing Kalman Seamless Concrete® floors in 1964 and has installed more than 70 million square feet to date. In 1964, Robert F. Ytterberg succeeded his father as president of Kalman. C. Frederick Ytterberg took Kalman to Europe, Australia, and South America until his retirement in 1978. Later, Kalman relocated its headquarters to beautiful Denver, Colorado where it remains today.
