Vortex Companies Unveils New Maverick Grouts Line
Vortex Companies, renowned for its trenchless infrastructure solutions, has officially announced the rebranding of its polyurethane foam grout solutions under a new name:
Maverick Grouts. This marks a significant evolution in their offerings aimed at addressing various infrastructure challenges, particularly focusing on inflow and infiltration, soil stability, and structure lifting.
A Tribute to Legacy
According to Mike Vellano, CEO of Vortex Companies, the new name, Maverick, honors the legacy of Scott Peterson, a pivotal figure in the company's history. Peterson, who is well-known within the organization by the nickname 'Maverick,' spearheaded the polymerics division and played a critical role in shaping the company's approach to innovation. "This name reflects our independent and creative approach to market challenges," Vellano stated, emphasizing how the new branding aligns with Vortex's core values of courage and innovation.
A Comprehensive Portfolio for Geotechnical Projects
The Maverick Grouts family encompasses a diverse range of products designed specifically for contractors and municipalities involved in complex geotechnical projects. These products are tailored for applications at sites facing issues like significant inflow, major cracks, voids in structures, soil stability, curtain grouting, and the lifting and leveling of settled structures. The introduction of the updated grit line includes several innovative product categories:
- - Maverick II: Rapid-setting grouts specialized for heavy infiltration and leak stoppage.
- - Maverick Stabilization: Structural foams and grouts designed to enhance strength and load-bearing capacity.
- - Maverick Void Fill: Expanding and migrating structural foams intended for broad infrastructure applications.
- - Maverick Lift: Foams engineered for lifting surfaces like roadways and bridges.
- - Maverick Acrylamides and Acrylates: Products for soil stabilization and sealing.
Personal Connection to the Brand
Matthew Peterson, Senior Vice President of Coatings and Rehab Materials at Vortex, expressed a personal connection to the rebranding. His father, Scott Peterson, was instrumental in developing the early formulations that laid the groundwork for the polymerics line. This personal history and connection further enhance the significance of the Maverick brand for the Vortex team. Matthew stated, "Naming this line Maverick honors the lasting impact my father has had on our culture, our products, and how we meet market needs."
