Crushed Stone
Crushed stone aggregate is produced from many natural deposits including: limestone, granite, trap rock and other durable mineral resources. Production of these products requires blasting and excavating the broken stone from quarries followed by progressive stages of crushing, screening, washing and blending. Our aggregate products range in size from Rip-Rap, where each stone may weigh several tons, to manufactured sand for use in concrete and asphalt products. The numerous sizes and gradations are determined by their intended use and each complies with the specifications established by governmental agencies or our customer's requirements. Crushed stone is used in the construction of highways, railroads, airports, water and sewage systems, office buildings, factories and our homes. Beyond these "aggregate" uses, crushed rock is also manufactured into fertilizer and mineral components used in: roofing shingles, animal feeds, toothpaste and many other household products.

Sand & Gravel
Sand and gravel aggregate is produced in each of Aggregate Industries' regional business units. These resources, harvested from both glacial and alluvial deposits, are processed by a series of crushing, screening and washing operations. The aggregate produced is subsequently used in the manufacture of ready mixed concrete, asphalt, pre-cast concrete products and as natural mineral base and for many other uses in most construction projects. Our diligent quality control and flexible processing plants ensure that a wide variety of products are available to meet the needs and specifications of federal, state and local agencies, as well as commercial and residential contractors. Our sand and gravel products are also used for ice control to keep highways safe during inclement weather, for filtration purposes and have been used to rebuild beach environments along the shores of Lake Michigan. Aggregate Industries utilizes trucks, railroads and barges to deliver these products to our customers

Recycled Products
Rubble generated by the demolition of existing roads, buildings and other construction projects can be recycled into useful construction aggregate. Aggregate Industries processes this material into high quality aggregate and asphalt products, thereby conserving our natural resources while reducing waste sent to landfills. Material recovered from the removal of asphalt paving is crushed, screened and reintroduced into asphalt mixtures or is used as a base under new streets and parking lots. Curb, pavements, foundations and sidewalks originally built with ready mixed concrete are crushed into base materials. These products economically augment our full line of naturally occurring aggregate
Asphalt
Asphalt or "bituminous concrete" is produced principally for use in surface pavements. This combination of aggregate, liquid asphalt cement and in some products recycled materials is installed by both Aggregate Industries and our customers construction crews. Our production facilities include large drum mix plants capable of high production necessary to meet the demands of highway paving as well as batch plants to supply the variety of products required by our commercial customers. Asphalt creates durable streets, parking lots, driveways and bike paths.
