Founded in 1924, by Isidoro Bortolotti, born in Maiano, Udine, Italy in 1897. After completing the third grade, which was typical of all children of humble laboring folk, he accompanied his uncle to Germany, at the age of nine years old, to learn the terrazzo trade. In 1914, he returned to Italy and served in the armed forces, was taken prisoner, and spent 13 months in the enemy's hands. In 1920, they honorably discharged and commended him.After his discharge, he set out for America and settled in Omaha, Nebraska. Already skilled in terrazzo and mosaic work, he had no trouble finding a job. From 1920 thru 1923, he applied himself diligently to learn the language, the customs, and the American point of view. He continued to master all the details of his trade while in the employ of others.
In 1924, he decided to go into business for himself. Things were not easy starting out. He continued with his knowledge of the trade, a boundless will to work, intelligence, and did not bend in the face of obstacles and difficulties. Thus, was the formation of the Universal Terrazzo & Tile Co.
Thru the years, the Company expanded its product lines to include tile, both resilient and ceramic, coatings for commercial and industrial applications, stamped concrete, paving bricks, and natural stone.
The firm continued to enjoy success in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, North and South Dakota, and Illinois.
In 1925, Isidoro married Michelina Cominoli, and had three children. They provided their children with the education that they did not have, grade school, high school, and college. The three children, in turn, worked at the company, both in the field and later handled the administrative duties.
