G & M Concrete Company was founded on May 2, 1973. The
company's prime objective was to deliver concrete that was made fresh
on-site by use of mobile mixers. Mobile mixers were specialized trucks
that contained compartments holding all the source materials for
concrete. The final product was not mixed until the truck reached the
job site.
Eventually the
mixers were outdated as new technology replaced this form of concrete business. G & M Concrete &
Asphalt Company, Inc. was founded in September of 1983. The Magruder family decided to focus their efforts on asphalt.
This was an excellent opportunity to incorporate
overstock products from their limestone quarries and transform them into
a high quality paving product. Originally, the plant was used to handle
a few local jobs and occasionally a MODOT
contracted job. As time passed, needs and expectations
changed. G & M Concrete & Asphalt Co., Inc. grew from a
secondary business to a thriving investment.
There have been many changes since the beginning. We have grown from a
200tph Cedar Rapids batch plant (1983) to a 450tph CMI drum plant
(2000). This plant is capable of switching on the fly between mixes and
has the capacity for storage of 660 tons of hot mix asphalt.
G & M Concrete & Asphalt Co., Inc. continues to meet the demands
of our customers by producing a wide variety of mixes ranging from
commercial surfacing to SuperPave desiged
and used on interstate highways. Our experience and
education has made us a leader in the asphalt industry and
we will continue to provide the highest quality product and
level of customer satisfaction.
