We are growing!In 1989, we established Foley Materials Company to provide aggregates to The Concrete Company’s ready-mix concrete operations. In 2008 we expanded our business with the addition of Columbus Quarry, LLC, to our aggregates division. In 2019 we added Greenbriar Sand to our aggregates group, this being our first dredge planty. At the present time there are 5 fully operational plants in GA/AL and several other locations that are operational as the need arises. The Area Operations Manager will be instrumental in helping us grow our footprint further into the market.
