Dale Tomazin approached friend and former co-worker Loren Plotkin in 2016 and asked, “Wouldn’t it be great to get back into the caulk business?” “I didn’t think so,” said Plotkin, president of Oklahoma-based M-D Building Products, parent company of Tower Sealants at 2095 Memorial Park Drive in Gainesville. Plotkin paused for a moment, then glanced at Tomazin, standing nearby, and added, “He’s right and I’m wrong. And here we are today.”
