Braen Stone

What Braen Stone does

Braen Stone is a 120-year-old, fifth-generation family-owned construction materials supplier headquartered in Haledon, New Jersey, operating as Stone Industries, Inc. The company extracts, processes, and distributes crushed stone aggregates, hot mix asphalt, recycled materials, and specialty aggregates from five quarries across northern New Jersey (Haledon, Ringwood, Franklin, Sparta) and upstate New York (Whitehall). Its processing infrastructure includes a 500 ton-per-hour drum plant and batch plants at Haledon plus a batch plant added at Sparta in 2020, alongside Class B recycling facilities that convert broken concrete and asphalt into Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) and Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP).

The company sells primarily under two go-to-market motions. The B2B contractor channel provides NJ DOT and NYS DOT approved aggregates, hot mix asphalt (used on Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike projects), riprap, jetty stone, septic materials, and rock salt, distributed through FOB quarry pickup and bulk delivery across northern NJ, NY, and eastern PA, with account management via an online Customer Portal for reports, invoicing, job tracking, and aging reports. The homeowner and small-contractor channel is served through Braen Supply, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary formed in 2000 that operates a 6,300 square-foot showroom and retail locations in Haledon, Randolph, and Wanaque offering landscape, masonry, hardware building supplies, natural stone, concrete pavers, and thin stone veneer.

Revenue is generated transactionally on a quote-based, per-ton basis across the B2B channel and via retail sales through Braen Supply. Pricing is not publicly disclosed for materials, indicating quote-driven pricing for large commercial/government work and standard retail for the homeowner channel. Distribution is direct from quarries or via bulk trucking, with barge transport bringing Whitehall, NY granite and jetty stone south to NJ. Customer segments include government DOTs and municipalities, enterprise contractors building highways and commercial projects, golf courses (white bunker sand), farms (agricultural limestone), and homeowners.
