Regent Tek LMM 100 Series Thermoplastic - University of Cincinnati. Date: July 2023
about us
Regent Tek Industries Inc. is a leading innovator in thermoplastic road marking materials, proudly serving the Northeast United States. In response to increasing demand and the limited number of thermoplastic manufacturers, Regent Tek was founded with a clear mission: to deliver a higher-quality, more sustainable solution tailored specifically for the northern U.S. climate. Utilizing advanced European formulations, our thermoplastic products are engineered to outperform conventional materials in durability, consistency, and environmental resilience.
Backed by over 60 years of combined experience in manufacturing and quality control, Regent Tek’s management team, with Helen Torkos as President, has built a state-of-the-art production and warehousing facility equipped with a rigorous in-house Quality Assessment Program. This program ensures that every batch of product undergoes extensive testing to meet the demands of extreme seasonal weather. Our proprietary Liquid Mile Mark™ thermoplastic is uniquely designed to expand and contract with pavement shifts, maintaining crisp, uniform markings throughout freeze-thaw cycles and temperature swings that typically cause cracking and degradation in traditional markings.
We source only the highest-quality raw materials from both domestic and international suppliers to produce thermoplastic compounds that meet the highest standards of performance and safety.
Strategically located in Long Island, New York, Regent Tek is ideally positioned to supply line striping contractors along the eastern seaboard and as far west as Texas —most within a single day’s drive. This proximity allows us to meet urgent delivery timelines, helping our customers stay on schedule without sacrificing quality.
Regent Tek is proud to be an Approved Thermoplastic Manufacturer for the Departments of Transportation in New York, New Jersey, Texas, Ohio, North and South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kansas, and Virginia.
We are also a Certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) in New York City, New York State, and The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. Regent Tek is also a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) eligible for state DOT contracts.
