Our History:

Lyle at the White House
CD Products, Inc. began in 1980 by Tom Hennessy after spending 11 years in the paint, ink and coating business formulating and managing a variety of departments and plants that specialized in industrial production coatings and ink. With an intensive chemical engineering and business back ground he moved now into architectural coatings with a concentration on industrial flooring products and their proper installation.

Starting as a major dealer for a national scale epoxy producer, Tom decided he would have greater latitude in providing products if he were to make his own, with many coming as a result of a customer asking if he could solve a problem they were experiencing. This approach continues today.

In 1989 Lyle Marier joined the company from Minneapolis, bringing over 25 years of field expertise in installing epoxy, fiberglass and urethane systems. one prestigious project of his was the Truman balcony floor at the White House. Nearly simultaneously to this, they moved into their present property at 918 N. Union St. in Appleton, Wisconsin. Over the next 10 years their product line expanded significantly and customer base expanded to several states around Wisconsin and occasionally into Mexico

INMAR: in the early 2000’s we were supplying materials and technology to a distributing/fulfillment company into the floor coating industry. In a short time this became a substantial business so to keep insurance costs for our installation work from escalating with these sales calculated in, we set up INMAR- INDUSTRIAL MARKETING for the installation work and kept CD Products Inc for the product sales. For a variety of reasons the distributor failed so the need for two entities ceased so we again combined them, with CD Products making most of our materials and INMAR ENTERPRISES installing them. Installation work is insured by and provided by INMAR and most of the product sales are CD Products Inc.

Since then, CD Products has grown continually and installed over 10,000,000 square feet of industrial flooring and liner systems ( 6,000, 000 sq ft in our #1300 SYSTEM alone ) for various companies throughout Wisconsin and Illinois. We promise to continue providing excellent service and innovative epoxy flooring solutions for years to come.

We currently provide floor coatings, joint filling, concrete polishing and silicate surface installation, decorative floor toppings, terrazzo grinding, heavy industrial surfaces, chemical resistant surfaces, secondary containment tank liners, ESD coatings and surfaces, and other specialties. We also provide products and instructions for their use and proper installations. In this we have taught customers to do over 1,000,000 sq ft of their own work at considerable savings to them.
