The World Leader in Product Development
Techo-Block
was founded in 1989 with the goal of designing and manufacturing
hardscaping products such as paving stones, retaining wall systems
and masonry stones that blend more seamlessly and harmoniously
with the natural environment. With our innovations in both design
and application,
Techo-Block
has
transformed science into art, elevating paving stones and masonry
products from ordinary to elegant.
For nearly two decades, our product development has been committed
to beautifying the continent one landscape at a time. Today, our
three facilities in Canada and our new state-of-the-art plant in
Pennsylvania continue this commitment to creativity and quality,
paving our way across North America affordably and artistically.
Timeline:
Techo-Block
has changed the face of an industry with our expertise and
excellence in product development, recording more than a dozen
patents. Here is just a sample of our ground-breaking
achievements:
1995 –1996:
We introduce the world’s first tumbled interlocking retaining-wall
system, Creta (Patent #2,114,677). In addition, we create the
industry’s first pre-cast antiqued curb stone, Pietra, as well as
the Tetra paving stone, North America’s first tumbled jumbo-size
paving stone.
1997:
The world’s first commercial replica of ancient cobblestone,
Allegro, is introduced (Patent #2,214,295).
1998:
Our Belgik curb stone becomes the first manufactured replica of
authentic Belgian block.
1999:
Elena, the first modular paving stones to be offered in one single
pallet, is engineered and marketed.
2001:
Techo-Bloc renders the existing method of drum-tumbling obsolete.
Our new technology prevents product breakage, eliminates the
time-consuming sorting of stones, and eradicates the cement slurry
from the pavers’ surfaces. This revolutionary technique results in
a product unsurpassed in quality, beauty, and durability.
2002:
With the introduction of Quarry Stone, we offer the world its
first retaining wall stone with a hand-chiselled and handcrafted
appearance. (Patent #2,392,934).
2004:
We bring our Canadian innovations to the U.S. The most
sophisticated and technologically advanced pavers and retaining
wall production plant opens in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania.
2005:
Techo-Block produces the first rugged, high relief paving stone, Santorini. With its strategically accentuated elevations and
impressions, this paver provides a bold, hand-hewn look, enhancing
any landscape design.
2006:
Techo-Block makes radical changes in retaining-wall technology. By
engineering a new anchoring system, our Monumental Blok can be
used to create walls twelve feet high without the use of geogrid.
The result is a structure that appears handcrafted by the finest
of artisans, rather than mechanically erected by backhoe or small
bulldozer. These giant stones make a truly monumental impact on
any property, residential or commercial.
As we enter the last years of this century’s first decade, we
invite you to enjoy not only the quality, beauty, and
dependability forged in the years past, but to experience the
excitement and excellence of the years to come.
