	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Bonsal / ProSpec manufacturers of masonry mortar. This section is based on the products of Bonsal /ProSpec, which is located at: 8201 Arrowridge Blvd. Charlotte, NC 28273 Toll Free: (800)738-1621 Phone: (704)525-1621 Fax: (704)529-5261 E-mail: Send message to Bonsal / ProSpec Bonsal American, one of the most trusted manufacturers in concrete and flooring products for both commercial and residential construction, is proud to announce the next evolution in the industry ProSpec, a Sakrete brand. Bonsal American / Oldcastle acquired the Sakrete brand in 2006. Building on the strength of the Sakrete brand, all products are being transitioned under the Sakrete umbrella. ProSpec is the professionally-specified group of products formerly packaged under the brand, which included Concrete Restoration and Repair and Tile Installation products. ProSpec is built on the core values that you have come to know and trust with the brand. The only difference you'll see is how much easier it is to get the products you need from one source, because the entire ProSpec and Sakrete lines are one simple call away.
