TAKTL, LLC is a research, design, and manufacturing company that specializes in optimizing Architectural Ultra High Performance Concrete (A|UHPC) for the unique demands of rainscreen, curtainwall, and prefabricated wall assembly applications.
Based in Western Pennsylvania, TAKTL creates faade products that outperform GFRC, Fiber Cement, Porcelain and Terracotta in strength, durability, visual range, and sanitation, accelerating the rich industrial history of the region with the most sophisticated technology and innovation available today.
Since 2011, TAKTL has been specified, manufactured and installed on over 325 major projects located in demanding climates throughout the US, Canada, and Mexico, including university buildings, museums, research facilities, transportation, infrastructure, mixed-use housing and commercial development, tall buildings and secured government facilities.TAKTL pursues the innovative use of A|UHPC because we are deeply committed to design and material science-and the possibilities that develop when the two are combined.

One of the hallmarks of TAKTL's story is that we were founded as a research project.
We see it as a strength that the R&D foundation of TAKTL's business model has been at the core of what we do well before we cast our first panel.
Looking for a high-performance material to utilize in the design of urban furnishings, with the possibility of expansion into architectural projects, TAKTL's founders identified UHPC as an extraordinary material with potential so far untapped outside of civil and industrial applications.

Because TAKTL designers participate fully in material development, manufacturing strategy, and mold-making, we have comprehensive knowledge of the material's capabilities and a manufacturing model that affords them a tremendous amount of freedom and control.
The TAKTL design team is made up of industrial, textile, architectural and communications designers, material, structural, mechanical, civil and environmental engineers and mold making, manufacturing and process design experts.
With 30+ years of experience in the design and manufacturing industry, our team brings a wide range of expertise and experience to TAKTL product development.

Formulation design is only one side of the equation.
How the material is cast, cured, and processed ultimately determines the success of every project.
We design the mix, we design the manufacturing, and we have complete traceability through every step of the process.
TAKTL manufactures its products just outside of Pittsburgh, in Turtle Creek, PA, and sources 91% of its raw materials from within a 500-mile radius.
TAKTL's 240,000 square foot facility is located in a historic Westinghouse plant built in the 1880s that has been completely renovated by the Regional Industrial Development Corporation of Southwestern PA (RIDC) into a high-tech, flexible and energy-efficient manufacturing space that addresses the needs of TAKTL's manufacturing operations and research center: climate control, high-efficiency lighting, water filtration system, linear layout, and additional storage.

The original formulations of Ultra High Performance Concrete have a 40-year history in civil and industrial applications.
TAKTL has advanced that fundamental strength, performance, and durability of UHPC into a material designed specifically for architectural solutions.
Leveraging that performance, durability, and strength, TAKTL decided to bring its own proprietary formulation of UHPC to the architectural market starting in 2006.
The expertise and technology required to manufacture UHPC into repeatable, affordable architectural products did not yet exist.

Our commitment to continuous improvement is embodied in the Quality Management System which dictates quality control points in the manufacturing process and forms the engine for ongoing enhancements in product quality and delivery.
TAKTL adheres to a strict Quality Management System that conforms to ICC-ES AC10 Quality Requirements and has achieved certification by Architectural Testing Inc (ATI) to consistently produce panels meeting the performance standards of ASTM C1186 Grade IV.
TAKTL's QMS monitors parameters such as product dimensions, physical properties, flexural strength, anchor pull-out strength, color, curing conditions, and provides full traceability for each panel back to raw materials.
