Description
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit Materials (NYSE: SUM). We have two manufacturing facilities located in Davenport, Iowa, and Hannibal, Missouri, with distribution facilities in Des Moines, Iowa, and along the Mississippi River from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to New Orleans, Louisiana.
Our corporate office is located in Chesterfield, Missouri.
Cement has been manufactured at the Hannibal location since 1903. Several thousand men were needed for construction and operation of the original plant. A large number of Polish, Slavic, Hungarian, and Italian immigrants were attracted to jobs here. They settled on plant property and formed the small community of ILASCO, named for the constituents necessary in the cement-making process: Iron, Limestone, Aluminum, Silica, Coal, and Oxygen.
Our product has long been recognized for its consistent quality and was selected for many notable construction projects, including the Empire State Building and the Panama Canal.
