CT Industries LLC was established as Cultured Trim Inc. in October of 2000. The company was designed for the production and national distribution of its patented architectural building product. This product was developed to release the old world craftsmanship in today s Builders and Architects, enabling them the ability to purchase and utilize a reliably accurate and rapidly produced superior alternative to Natural Limestone.

Pre-Cast products have fallen short of delivering the quality and performance of sculpted Limestone, shear cost and production time drove the demand.
