Our company has grown steadily and significantly since its founding as a public company in the late 1950s – remaining the largest construction aggregates producer in America throughout that time. While the world has changed greatly in the last 60 years, our focus on ethically and sustainably running our business, so that it can thrive over time, has not.

Recycling Land

“As a land company, I think our ultimate goal is to recycle the land that we use and touch,” said Larry Lao, Project Manager for our Reliance II reclamation project near Los Angeles. We understand that mining is not a permanent use for land. After mining is complete, we reclaim the property for a variety of purposes, including natural restoration and economic development.

Every year, our Mexico operation – Sac-Tun – partners with Instituto Playa del Carmen de La Salle school to sponsor a student art jaguar painting contest to foster interest and respect for these majestic animals.

Spirit Rock Donation

Several years ago, our Azusa Quarry team donated a “spirit rock” to Mountain View Elementary School near Los Angeles. When the school permanently closed, Mr. Stamatis, a beloved former teacher, requested that the rock be moved to his home to remind him of his years of teaching. We partnered with Anglemyer Crane Rental to move and install the rock to thank him for his service to the community.
