About Us
Founded by the Becken family in 1927, Cemstone offers truly integrated and sustainable “concrete solutions” for its customers in the Upper Midwest and across the country. Building with the best begins with Cemstone’s employees, products and services, and leaves customers feeling like they are a part of their team.
Cemstone owns and operates a network of ready-mix concrete plants and aggregate facilities, which offers a full line of premium ready-mixed concrete, decorative concrete, high performance concrete, aggregate products, concrete masonry units, brick, and decorative stone. Cemstone also provides the leading professional grade supplies and materials through its network of Contractor Supply Stores.
Cemstone’s fleet of first-class ready-mix trucks and concrete booms deliver and place quality concrete for everything from residential driveways to above grade walls in homes built with Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) technology, to high-rise commercial buildings and sports stadiums.
In response to the driver shortage, which the American Trucking Association estimates to be around 80,000 for 2022, the Cemstone companies have launched an in-house CDL 9 Commercial Driver’s License. training program, becoming a federally registered training provider authorized by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration).
The program uses a specially designed 6-week curriculum that combines the federally required theory, range and road competencies blended with company specific safety requirements and core competencies required of ready-mix drivers. This in-house program will help alleviate some of the burdens that people may face who want to obtain a CDL such as cost of tuition, time-off of work, time to complete the program and finding a job after graduation. Our goal is that this program will be sustainable in other areas of the company and provide a future to candidates who may not have had the opportunity otherwise to obtain a CDL due to economic and time constraints.
