Riegler Blacktop

What Riegler Blacktop does

Riegler Blacktop, Inc. is a third-generation, family-owned asphalt paving and civil construction contractor headquartered in Florence, Kentucky, operating since 1954 in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati Tri-State Area. The company delivers end-to-end site construction services — including asphalt paving, asphalt manufacturing, concrete curbing and flatwork, excavation, utility construction, asphalt sealcoating and crack filling, asphalt repairs, design-build, heavy civil infrastructure, and new construction — to commercial, industrial, and government clients. Its core technical platform consists of two Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC)-certified, high-production asphalt manufacturing facilities (Florence opened 2006, Wilder opened 2025), an equipment fleet equipped with 3D Machine Control and GPS-based grading technology, 3D stringless curb machines, and on-site QA/QC testing laboratories. In-house licensed professional engineers and surveyors support design-build delivery.

The business model is project-based, transaction-fee construction contracting. Revenue is earned primarily through competitive bidding on publicly tendered municipal, state, and federally funded infrastructure projects, supplemented by direct private commercial and industrial contracts. A secondary revenue stream comes from external sale of manufactured asphalt materials from its two KYTC-certified plants. Pricing is quote-based, with no publicly disclosed tiers. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, targeting enterprise and public-sector buyers through direct project bidding, a "Request Quote" website form, and active social media presence on Facebook, X, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The company's headquarters and maintenance facility are co-located with the Florence plant (built 2018), with the second Wilder plant extending regional coverage in 2025.
