Exciting things are happening at Aggregate Resources.

We recently received our first delivery of cement powder at our Kalamazoo rail yard, marking the start of a new product offering for our customers.

A big shoutout to Tyler Stephens for running the RBT unloader and helping make this first delivery a success.

We’re looking forward to putting this new capability to work and continuing to support the projects that keep our communities moving.

Aggregate Resources recently attended the Michigan Aggregates Association Annual Conference at FireKeepers Casino.

Throughout the week, we received important industry updates from NSSGA, EGLE, MSHA, and MDOT, participated in informative breakout sessions, and connected with vendors at the trade show showcasing the latest equipment and technology in our industry.

The conference continues to be a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships and build new connections with others across Michigan’s aggregate community.

Congratulations to all the MAA award recipients, and a special shout-out to the miners at our Aggregate Resources locations who earned Safety Awards. Safety remains a top priority across our operations, and we are proud of our team’s ongoing commitment to safe, responsible mining.

We would also like to congratulate this year’s MAA Emerging Leaders, including our very own, Tim Bosker.

As an added highlight, we even took a moment to celebrate Dan’s 70th birthday with a round of “Happy Birthday” during the conference, a great reminder that this industry is built on both strong partnerships and strong friendships.

Thank you to the Michigan Aggregates Association for hosting another outstanding conference.

Not all gold glitters — some of it’s gravel.
