Company History

A Moving Story—Avanti International

“Avanti” means “Move Forward” in Italian, and since 1978, Avanti has done just that. Founded by industry icon David Magill with a single product, AV-100 Chemical Grout (Acrylamide), the company has grown into the U.S.’s most experienced full-service grout supplier.

Daniel Magill served as President for nearly a decade, guiding Avanti’s growth and innovation and helping develop sustainable solutions to restore aging infrastructure and control groundwater. Ten years after Daniel’s tenure, Nikolas Magill, now serves as President. With humility, a commitment to learning, and the full support of the Avanti team, he is focused on building on the company’s momentum while carrying forward its core values.

Stop Leaks. Stabilize Soil. Control Groundwater.
These solutions drive contractors, engineers, and government agencies to partner with Avanti for challenging municipal, industrial, and geotechnical projects. From acrylamide and acrylic grouts to ultrafine cement, hydrophilic and hydrophobic grouts, Avanti combines unmatched product range with technical expertise.
