At Quikrete, today is a birthday
Quikrete turns 75 today. And the company is celebrating by promoting its history-rich web site and reflecting on the advances of its business and products.
“It’s been quite the journey from a single plant in Columbus, Ohio manufacturing three products to plants across the country manufacturing hundreds of products, but a journey made possible thanks to our hard working employees and loyal customers,” said James E. Winchester, Jr., CEO for The Quikrete Companies.
Widely recognized for establishing the pre-mixed packaged concrete category, Quikrete is celebrating its history, and the fact that it helped shape the building and do-it-yourself (DIY) home improvement industries with product innovations and a dedicated staff of associates.
The company’s evolution from small building materials business in Columbus, Ohio to multi-brand conglomerate catering to the needs of millions of homeowners and professionals annually is available at www.QUIKRETE.com/75.
“Long before the term do-it-yourself was coined or HGTV existed, Quikrete was helping homeowners with easy, affordable projects around the house. However, we’ve also stayed true to our core customers in the building industry by providing heavy-duty products that meet the needs of even the most challenging projects,” said Winchester. “Quikrete has truly evolved from concrete in a bag into an iconic brand that lives up to its mantra, ‘What America’s Made Of™’ every day. We’re extremely grateful for the success and look forward to writing the next chapter in the company’s history.”
