GemSeal Promoting One Stop Shop and Mastic Material at the National Pavement Expo 2020

Jeff Spencer / Jan 10 , 2020

GemSeal booth at NPEYou may know GemSeal for our high-quality pavement sealers. While these products will be at the forefront of our booth 529 at the National Pavement Expo, Jan 29-31 in Nashville, we are excited to showcase the wide range of additional inventory available at GemSeal One Stop Shops nationwide. If you’re attending the show, you can expect to see equipment, safety apparel, signage, ADA mats, and more at our exhibit.

“We know contractors have a choice when it comes to buying pavement products, equipment, and related items,” remarked Lee Lowis, president. “GemSeal stands apart in two key areas—quality control and people. Our sealers and other pavement products undergo continuous testing and are certified on site. We do this so contractors can apply with confidence.” He continued, “Furthermore, our people are experts in pavement. We’re not just here to sell you a product; we’re here to help you grow your business and ensure your success.”

mastic applicationIn that spirit, we encourage you to stop by our booth 529 to discover a product that will help you do more with less. The product is mastic compound. With this material, there is no more need to send a five-man crew and heavy, costly machinery to repair asphalt or concrete. Mastic is a self-leveling, load-bearing, and hot-applied pavement mixture. It can be used in many applications including wide pavement cracks and potholes. At the booth, there will be a video presentation on the product, mastic application equipment on display, and experts to answer your questions.

“We invite attendees to rediscover GemSeal at the expo,” said Jeff Spencer, VP Marketing. “More than quality sealers, GemSeal is the go-to source for everything contractors need to get the job done.”

GemSeal Heads Back to RECon 2018 to Share Solutions for the Future of Retail

Lee F. Lowis / May 7 , 2018

Mastic solutions for retailers at REConPreparing for the future of retail and commercial real estate starts at the ICSC RECon (International Council of Shopping Centers Real Estate Conference) on May 20-23 in Las Vegas.  During the four-day event, industry professionals will convene to exchange forward-thinking ideas on a wide variety of issues including how to improve physical retail experience, attract new tenants, and prepare for natural disasters. The success of these three particular topics largely depends on property condition, which includes the vast expanse of pavement in front of stores.

That’s why GemSeal is making our annual appearance at booth N1132 to showcase our pavement preservation products, including our mastic material, which is the ideal pavement repair for busy retail centers because it is a quick procedure with little downtime and long-lasting results. Furthermore, as part of routine preventative maintenance, mastics can help retail real estate professionals preserve pavement to help make a positive first impression, which impacts overall retail experience; attract tenants and customers; and prolong the safe usability of pavement, even in harsh weather conditions.

3 Reasons to Visit GemSeal at RECon 2018

  1. The Retail Experience Starts in the Parking Lot – Our pavement products protect one of the largest areas of your property to create a positive and safe experience for customers, even before they reach your door.
  2. First Impressions Matter – Many digital retail brands are looking to open up brick-and-mortar stores to complement their online presence. When you quickly address minor pavement issues with mastics and routinely apply our other products, you enhance the curb appeal of your properties and attract new tenants.
  3. Nature is Unpredictable, but We’re Not – GemSeal manufactures our pavement sealers with a precision colloid mill process to ensure product uniformity and durability. When Hurricane Harvey hit Houston last August, our Black Diamond™ XL sealer protected the pavement of a large retail center from unprecedented flooding and other debris.

That is just the short list. We invite you to spend a few minutes with us at Booth N1132 to view a video on mastic application and even handle a sample of the material.

For all those retail real estate professionals that haven’t yet registered, we encourage you to sign up today. We predict you’ll gain a lot of knowledge and have a great time!
