Building safer, more sustainable concrete structures one project at a time.
Who We Are
CTS is a global leader in advanced calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement technology with an extensive history of providing innovative and high-performance cement products to the construction industry.
Our cement technology began in the 1960s with the pioneering work of our founder, Edward K. Rice, PE, FACI, who set out to improve the way we build and construct. With civil engineering as his expertise and construction as his passion, he developed two CSA cement technologies in use since the 1960s: Type K cement and Rapid Set® cement.

Type K shrinkage compensating cement was originally engineered for use in pre-stressed & post-tensioned designs. It is now used in all types of concreting and non-shrink grouting applications, from bridge decks and pavement to containment structures, post-tension designs and extended joint slabs.
Komponent® is a brand of shrinkage-compensating concrete products engineered to improve structural behavior and the overall quality of the concrete. This advanced cement technology improves durability, extends design life of the concrete, and eliminates common maintenance and repair challenges. Its ultra-low carbon impact and ability to enhance performance of portland and portland-limestone cement mixes ensures optimal sustainability and improved performance. Whether designing a shrinkage-compensating structure or simply enhancing performance of traditional designs, Komponent® products deliver performance and value.
Design versatility ensures maximum value
Komponent offers design versatility for a wide range of applications in new construction and renovation projects. This dedicated product line provides easy-to-use options that can be incorporated using traditional ready-mix production methods.
