Approved Industries’ history is rooted in a deep understanding of the chimney service industry and a commitment to family values. Before taking the reins, our previous owners dedicated two generations to the chimney service business. This hands-on experience gave them invaluable insights into industry challenges. They witnessed firsthand the limitations of traditional repair methods and recognized the need for more durable and effective solutions.
Rooted in Shared Values
As a family-oriented business, the previous owners weren’t driven by corporate expansion or solely focused on profits. Their primary concern was finding a successor who shared their core values and commitment to quality. They sought an individual or entity that would prioritize innovation, customer satisfaction, and the well-being of the chimney professionals they had served for decades. This careful selection process ensured that the ensuing legacy of excellence would continue under new leadership.
Thermocrete Is Invented
In 1997, driven by a desire to revolutionize the industry, Thermocrete USA, Inc., was founded to introduce a groundbreaking product from the United Kingdom to the American market. This marked a pivotal moment in the company’s history as it sought to bridge the gap between traditional practices and modern technology. Two generations of family leadership continued to guide the team, seamlessly blending practical experience with scientific innovation to bring cutting-edge solutions to a centuries-old industry.
Approved Industries Is Born
The tremendous success of Thermocrete® as a dependable solution for damaged chimney flue liners sparked further innovation. The company embarked on a journey of continuous development, creating an expanding range of thermal protective coatings for chimney repairs, including Smoktite®.
As the product portfolio grew, it became evident that a larger, more comprehensive entity was needed to effectively represent and support industry advancements. Thus, Approved Industries was founded. It is the result of years of dedication, experience, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence.
