Tile Gripper™ is a groundbreaking system designed to revolutionize the way tiles are installed in volume tiling projects. Utilizing a patent-pending large-field array of suction cups in combination with an innovative pattern-oriented tile dispensing system, Tile Gripper™ allows installers to apply multiple tiles simultaneously, achieving in seconds with greater precision what would traditionally take much longer to accomplish one tile at-a-time. Ideal for high-volume jobs, Tile Gripper™ enables crews to complete projects 2.5 to 3 times faster and more efficiently than conventional methods.

    Symtool Systems Inc to Unveil Revolutionary Tile Gripper™ at Coverings 2025

    Innovative pneumatic tile installation system dramatically boosts efficiency for large-scale tiling projects.
     
    Newburgh, NY — April 25, 2025 – Symtool Systems Inc., a pioneering startup based in Newburgh, NY, is proud to announce the official launch of its groundbreaking Tile Gripper™ system at Coverings 2025, taking place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, from April 28 to May 2, 2025. Visitors are invited to explore this industry-transforming innovation with live demonstrations at booth #4209.

    Tile Gripper™ is an advanced, patented pneumatic tool designed to dramatically increase efficiency and reduce labor costs for professional tile installation companies handling large-scale projects. Invented by Symtool’s founder Michael Perez—who brings over 40 years of experience as a tile installation contractor and home building contractor—Tile Gripper is uniquely engineered to handle complex tile patterns quickly and precisely.

    "Traditional tile-setting methods rely heavily on the manual skill of individual installers, making large-scale jobs costly and time-consuming," explains Jeff Vetterick, Chief Marketing Officer at Symtool Systems Inc.

    "Our Tile Gripper™ fundamentally re-engineers this workflow. Tile installation teams working on extensive projects like hospitals, hotels, schools, multifamily developments, and public infrastructure projects can now experience labor savings of up to 70%.", added George Stellweg, Symtool Systems’ Chief Sales Officer.

    The Tile Gripper™ system enables installers to lift and position up to 24 ceramic or slate tiles simultaneously using a configurable array of industrial-grade suction cups connected to a transparent base plate for precise alignment. Three independently controlled suction zones provide flexibility for handling partial tile arrays, such as at wall perimeters, significantly enhancing installation speed and accuracy.

    Designed for straightforward integration into existing workflows, Tile Gripper™ connects effortlessly to conventional air compressors, requiring minimal setup:
     
    1. Connect the tool to an existing air compressor.
    2. Load tiles into specially designed tray liners, pre-arranged into the desired pattern.
    3. Align Tile Gripper™ to the tray's corner guide and activate suction to grasp tiles.
    4. Lift the pre-arranged tile layer.
    5. Precisely place the tiles on prepared walls and deactivate suction to release tiles.

    Manufactured in the USA, Tile Gripper™ and its complementary tray system set a new standard for efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness in commercial and industrial tiling operations.

    Symtool Systems Inc. warmly invites industry professionals, journalists, influencers, and media attendees at Coverings 2025 to witness firsthand the transformative potential of the Tile Gripper™ system via hourly live demonstrations at booth #4209.
