PLATTSBURGH, NEW YORK – This year marks the 50th anniversary of Schluter-Systems, a company that has led important innovations and new product developments for tile installations globally.
In 1966, a young master tile setter named Werner Schlüter embarked on his first business venture-- founding Schluter Tile. A few years later, Schlüter developed a product that would revolutionize not only his work as a tile setter, but the industry as a whole –Schluter Schiene, a metal finishing profile designed to prevent tile edges from chipping. From these humble beginnings the company has evolved to a global organization with seven subsidiaries and 1,100 employees.
