Suit-Kote Corporation, founded in 1921, is a leading provider of asphalt emulsions, road preservation services, and construction solutions. Headquartered in Cortland, NY, the company operates from twenty-one strategically located facilities across New York and Pennsylvania, as well as a site in Ontario, Canada. With a focus on quality and innovation, Suit-Kote offers a wide range of products and services, including pavement preservation, heavy highway construction, cold mix paving, and surface treatments. Employing over 750 skilled professionals, many of whom have decades of experience, the company prides itself on its strong values and commitment to the communities it serves.
The company’s journey began as a road construction endeavor initiated by Harry J. Suits Sr. and his partners. Over the decades, through a series of acquisitions and expansions, the Suit-Kote name became synonymous with superior quality asphalt products and technical expertise. A significant milestone occurred in 1992 when Suit-Kote acquired McConnaughay Technologies, reinforcing its position in the market with added engineering and technological capabilities.
Suit-Kote's vertically integrated business model allows for a reliable supply of liquid asphalt and supports external distribution, paving the way for strong partnerships within the industry. The company has continuously invested in infrastructure, ensuring that its facilities across New York and Pennsylvania are modernized to meet the growing demands of the asphalt industry. As a privately-owned, merit-based firm, Suit-Kote remains a significant employer in the region and is dedicated to delivering environmentally friendly and high-value services, contributing to road construction and maintenance across the Northeast U.S.
