The County Materials Family of Companies is celebrating 80 years of shaping the concrete manufacturing industry and delivering the concrete products that build stronger, safer communities.

Founded in 1946 as a small concrete block and aggregate producer, our company has grown over 8 decades into an industry-leading concrete manufacturer employing more than 2,000 team members and serving customers across the upper Midwest and Southeast United States.

Shared Success Through Partnership

Achieving 80 years in the concrete manufacturing industry is a milestone that would not be possible without the trusted partnerships we've built with our customers, contractors, engineers, municipalities, suppliers, and industry associations. Their confidence in our products and people has helped drive our success and inspire our continued growth.

We are proud to demonstrate active leadership across our industry associations by serving on boards, maintaining membership across many organizations, and engaging in events, trainings, and initiatives such as Concrete Pipe Week. Together, we strengthen industry standards, advocate for the concrete construction and manufacturing sectors, and support the development of skilled professionals.

Our organization also participates in a broad network of local groups, including Chambers of Commerce and Home Builders Associations, reinforcing our dedication to being deeply involved in the communities we serve.

Growth Driven by Strategy & Innovation

The growth of our organization has been driven by expanded production capacity, new facilities, innovative product development, and investments in advanced manufacturing technologies. These investments allow us to produce some of the highest-quality concrete products in the industry while delivering the reliability, consistency, and performance our customers depend on.

Our commitment to quality has earned the trust of project leaders for some of the largest infrastructure and commercial developments throughout the nation, including award-winning landscape projects, large-scale parking structures, iconic suspension bridges, and the reconstruction of major highways.

Power in Our People

While innovation fuels our growth, our greatest strength is our people. The dedication, expertise, and craftsmanship of our team members are reflected in every product we manufacture and every customer relationship we build. Their commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement allows us to deliver excellence across our diverse family of businesses.

Supporting Local Communities

As a family-owned company, giving back is a part of who we are—we proudly invest in the communities that have supported us for generations, helping create opportunities and build a better future for the people who call these places home.

As we celebrate our 80th anniversary, we remain committed to innovation, strategic growth, and delivering concrete solutions that shape the future of the infrastructure of our nation. What we’ve built so far is only the beginning.
