After spending 22 years in the concrete industry, Cardenas had realized one thing; there had to be a better way to connect form boards. Cardenas has been laying forms and pouring concrete for a high production home builder, one after another, for years! Over and over, he would prep the ground, create the form, pour the concrete, and finish it. One day, after watching an employee struggle to connect two boards, Cardenas had his idea. He went to the drawing board, looking at 18-gauge steel, as ideas ran through his head. He worked on his idea whenever he had a moment away from his contracting company, trying different manufacturing techniques and materials. Finally, through years of development, research, and trials, Cardenas developed The Concrete Form Board Sleeve Connectors, and patented the idea. Now, The Concrete Form Board Sleeve Connectors are available in a variety of sizes, and can be found on jobsites everywhere. They reduce stress, decrease time, and increase quality.
