From Marc Mularoni, Strategic Account Manager for
TEC:
“I'm glad that I was able to be a part of such
special project. TEC appreciates the opportunity to
be a part of this by donating the setting/grouting
material. What made the experience better was that
I was able to donate some of my time to Tile Partners
for Humanity. I enjoyed helping out on this project,
and look forward to working with TPFH on future projects.”
From Mason Mularoni, son of Marc Mularoni of TEC:
“It was hard work, but I learned a lot! I liked
meeting and working with new people and it was fun
to see how a house is built. Being able to donate my
time to such a good cause as Habitat for Humanity made
my work more enjoyable.” |

Fall Build: HFH of Greater Indianapolis
(Indiana, October 2004)
Specialty Construction Brands, the manufacturer
of TEC brands and also a first-time TPFH partner,
donated all of the setting materials, cleaners
and sealers for 24 homes built as part of the
Indianapolis affiliate’s Fall Build. That
donation included TEC Full Flex® thin set
mortar, AccuColor® grout, and Grout Guard
PlusTM penetrating silicone sealer and Refresh
Pro® stone and tile cleaner, which will preserve
and protect the natural beauty of the tile and
keep it looking like new for years to come. The
TEC brand is owned by SCB, a fully owned subsidiary
of H.B. Fuller Co. (NYSE: FUL).
Marc Mularoni, a TEC strategic account manager,
donated time to help install tile in the homes
and teach new homeowners and other volunteers
to install. For Mularoni, the project was a chance
to personally give back to a community served
by his company and to work with Adam Beck of
Louisville Tile, which carries TEC Specialty
Products. Mularoni’s 14-year-old son Mason
worked alongside him in the home of Renda Collins.
From Jim Griffin, President and General Manager
of SCB:
“We are delighted to contribute products
and expertise to Tile Partners for Humanity,
which is a great cause and one that we’re
proud to be associated with. It’s very
gratifying to know that our technologically advanced
solutions will go to very good use in two dozen
homes for Indianapolis families in need.”
