| A Success Story:
Palma Inc. was founded in 1927 by Fred Palma Sr. as a local tile, terrazzo and marble business. Mr. Palma believed then, as we do today, that a top quality product combined with professional application and service results in successful projects and satisfied repeat customers. Our specialty today is the formulation and application of durable, economical, and attractive epoxy flooring systems.
Today, Palma Inc, is a third generation family owned and operated firm. We continue to operate by Fred Palm Sr.’s basic principle of conducting business, and have expanded to service customers throughout the United States and Canada.
A Complete Capability:
Through on-going research and development, Palma Inc. has created a full line of effective and efficient products that provide a broad range of flooring solutions. Our proven systems and techniques for application of epoxy flooring systems and integral cone base have produced millions of square feet of PalmaLite Palikrom multicolor and Unikrom solid color flooring. Recent additions to the Palma line, Palmarazzo, Novolac and BlackStar, have already established themselves as quality products in the marketplace.
Every square foot of seam-free flooring is managed and approved by a member of the Palma family. It is our commitment to carry on the tradition of our founder – to provide the best epoxy flooring on the market today – a product that will give years of reliable flooring use to our customers.
