Pitlik & Wick is a family-owned road construction and asphalt paving company headquartered in Eagle River, Wisconsin, founded in April 1952 by brothers-in-law Clarence Pitlik and Ed Wick. The company provides a vertically integrated suite of construction services across Northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, anchored by asphalt paving for driveways, parking lots, roads, airport runways, and highways, and supported by pavement preservation (seal coating, crack sealing, Flex Patch, chip sealing, shouldering, striping), excavation and sitework, aggregate crushing, milling/pulverizing/grading, recreational facility construction, and construction materials supply. Operations are backed by state-of-the-art asphalt plants, multiple aggregate crushing spreads, GPS- and electronic-control-equipped excavation equipment, and a state-certified laboratory for aggregate quality testing, with WisDOT and MDOT product certifications. The company owns and operates two sub-brands: Northern Lakes Concrete (established 1998), which runs six ready-mix concrete and pumping plants across Northern Wisconsin, and King Quarry (established 1952), which quarries and sells natural thin stone veneer from a granite quarry in Sugar Camp, Wisconsin.
