From Humble Beginnings

In 1995, Accretia Products started production in a small rented facility in Paducah, Kentucky, developing silkscreen products for several tile manufacturers. As the tile industry expressed needs for more advanced screen products, Accretia Products invested in the technology and expertise to meet industry demands. Accretia has constantly remained one step ahead of changing trends in the tile industry. These goals of constant improvement led Accretia to discover the demand for specialty tile cutting services and assembly. Growth gave Accretia the ability to invest in a permanent location and new equipment.

Rebuilding and Improving

In June of 2005, a devastating fire presented Accretia with the seemingly insurmountable challenge of completely rebuilding their facility. All of Accretia's employees pulled together and re-established the company in a larger plant in Clarksville, Tennessee. With the rebirth of Accretia came the opportunity to re-invest in more technology and machinery. Accretia was able to develop a wide variety of products ranging from custom medallions, tile profiling, 3rd fire deco, and to expand sales to manufacturers, individual customers, designers, and tile distributors. In addition, Accretia added an in-house design team to create a wider variety of catalogue pieces and to provide customers with designing services.

Looking Forward

At the end of 2006, Accretia began to search for a larger plant to house their growing tile manufacturer services. Accretia was pleased to quickly find a much larger facility in Elkton, Kentucky, formerly known as Flynn Enterprises, that could be home to all of Accretia. This is especially exciting because the building contains over 90,000 square feet of office, production, and storage space. Accretia currently has over sixty-five employees, and the expansion is expected to initially create approximately thirty additional new jobs. Accretia is looking forward to the completed move in Sept 2007. Roger James, founder and CEO of Accretia, said, "We are very excited about the opportunity to expand our operations in Elkton. This is a tremendous community of hard working, conscientious people, and we look forward to welcoming more of them into the Accretia family."
