Sakrete

What Sakrete does

Sakrete is a U.S.-based manufacturer of bagged concrete and masonry products, founded in 1936 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The company produces a comprehensive product portfolio across concrete mixes (general purpose, advanced performance, resurfacing and leveling), masonry products (mortar, stucco, coatings), repair solutions (concrete, masonry, and asphalt), and supplementary categories including admixtures, cement, aggregates, grout and anchoring products, sealants, adhesives, cleaners, and accessories. The portfolio is differentiated by performance specifications — including fast-setting formulations, high-early-strength mixes (up to 9,000 PSI), and DOT-approved industrial-grade products — and is sold in a range of bag sizes (40, 50, 60, 80, 94 lb) targeting both professional contractors and DIY homeowners.

Sakrete distributes through a multi-tier channel structure: major retail (Lowe's), professional construction material distributors (White Cap), independent building material dealers (e.g., Cofer Brothers), and digital channels including a dealer locator and a mobile app featuring concrete calculators and AR-based measurement. The company is a subsidiary of Oldcastle APG, itself part of CRH's Americas Materials division, and operates alongside sister brands Amerimix (pre-blended mortars/stuccos/grouts) and US SPEC (commercial-grade formulations). Marketing is conducted through content (Pro Tips blog, project guides, technical documents), social media, email newsletters, and industry events such as World of Concrete.

The business model is a straightforward one-time unit-sale model: products are sold as physical bagged goods through intermediaries, with revenue realized at the point of sale to dealers or end consumers. Pricing is structured across tiers — general purpose, advanced performance, and pro-grade repair — with publicly disclosed pricing not available on the company website. Customer economics are anchored on two primary segments: DIY homeowners undertaking residential repair and improvement projects, and professional contractors requiring consistent, high-performance products for commercial, industrial, and infrastructure applications.
