Lambert Corporation of Florida

For more than 70 years, Lambert Corporation has manufactured quality construction products used by the national and international concrete construction industry including adhesives, cementitious resurfacing and patching products, liquid surface sealers and coatings, dry power pigments and other materials. Charles Lambert founded Lambert Corporation in Houston, Texas in 1943 and the Orlando plant was opened in 1953. Lambert sold both plant operations to Guardsman Chemical in 1970 and the company operated as a subsidiary of Guardsman until 1978, when it was split off and sold to private individual entities. Although nearly experiencing a full collapse in 2011, the company underwent a complete management, staff and ownership change, and through the innovative alterations of new Chief Executive Officer Matthew L. Ledlow, were able to not only overcome the damage wrought and foreseeable impending bankruptcy of the company, but yielded growth and success unparalleled in the industry. Mr. Ledlow’s current and continued expansion of Lambert Corporation has led to the collection of some of the building materials industry’s most talented professionals, as well as, for the first time, made Lambert a recognized name amongst distribution, end users, and competitors. It is through this that the company believes it will quickly regain the prestige and success that the business saw during the management by its founder.
