What Quickrete does

QUIKRETE Holdings, Inc. is a privately held American manufacturer of packaged concrete, cement, and related construction products, founded in 1940 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The company operates the only national brand of packaged concrete products in the United States, with more than 100 manufacturing locations across 45+ US states and internationally in Canada, Puerto Rico, Panama, and Peru, employing between 1,001 and 5,000 people. Its product portfolio spans over 200 SKUs organized across concrete mixes (including Fast-Setting Concrete, QUIKRETE 5000, Crack-Resistant Concrete), mortars and masonry products, stucco and plastering systems, grouts and anchoring cements, repair products, waterproofing materials, sealants and coatings, and blacktop/asphalt products. The underlying technology relies on proprietary cement and concrete formulations combined with patented in-house blending, measuring, and packaging machinery, supported by an accredited Technical Data and Testing Center in Atlanta for R&D and quality assurance. Sub-brands include QUIKWALL, FastSet, QUIK-TUBE, and WALKMAKER, alongside wholly-owned subsidiaries such as Custom Building Products, PAVESTONE, Spec Mix, Contech Engineered Solutions, Rinker Materials, Quality Pavement Repair, and Greencore USA.

The company's revenue model is built on one-time sales of physical products through a multi-channel distribution network: an independent dealer network, licensed manufacturers in regions without direct plants, direct plant sales to enterprise contractors, and a consumer e-commerce storefront. GTM is segmented between 'For The Pro' (commercial contractors, masonry, plastering, shotcrete, DOT engineers, design professionals) and 'For Homeowners' (DIY residential construction and repair), supported by marketing channels including how-to video content, technical data sheets, two segmented email newsletters, social media presence, project case studies, and a flagship Atlanta Braves jersey patch partnership. In February 2026, QUIKRETE completed a major asset exchange with Martin Marietta Materials, acquiring the Midlothian cement plant and Texas ready-mix assets while divesting 20-million-ton aggregates operations and $450 million in cash, signaling vertical integration into upstream cement production. Pricing is dealer-direct and not publicly disclosed; products range from 10-ounce tubes to 80-pound bags.
