Joe Tomes, president of JE Tomes, started formulating concrete repair mixtures in 1988. With many years of experience in the concrete industry as a technical product rep, he saw a need for increased efficiency and higher performance mixes for shotcrete and started US Shotcrete Inc in 1989. His first product was Gun-Rite™ HP, a prepackaged shotcrete enhancer that is still widely specified today. Gun-Rite™ HP was the first product of its kind, giving contractors the ability to bulk mix shotcrete without field batching additives, saving labor time and increasing consistency in the final product. As their popularity grew, new products were developed, including specialty shotcrete cements and prepackaged shotcrete mixes. In 1999 Joe saw an opportunity to expand his product offerings and purchased The Camp Company, a well known concrete flooring and resurfacing manufacturer that had been manufacturing products since 1935. Joe combined US Shotcrete and The Camp Company into JE Tomes. Many of the original Camp products, such as HydroPlug™, Dry Latex Concrete™ and Dry Fast Set™, still exist today under the JE Tomes label.
