Quality Stone & Ready Mix

What Quality Stone & Ready Mix does

Quality Stone & Ready Mix, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned construction materials supplier headquartered at 3260 Preston Highway in Shepherdsville, Kentucky (Bullitt County). The company's roots trace to the early 1960s when founder David Holloway operated a mobile concrete plant; in 1965-1966 the business established a permanent site outside Shepherdsville and opened a limestone quarry under Quality Crushed Stone Company, with the two entities merging in 1988 to form the present company. Operations are vertically integrated at a single site, combining limestone quarrying and crushed stone production with ready-mix concrete manufacturing, plus a stocked retail catalog of concrete accessories (cure and seal products, sealers, rebar, wire mesh, expansion joints, forming systems).

The product portfolio spans crushed limestone in multiple grades (#9, #57, #3, Dense Graded Aggregate, Shot Rock), manufactured sand and natural sand products (Limedust, Mortar Sand, Concrete Sand), specialty materials (Rip Rap, Agricultural Limestone, Pea Gravel), ready-mix concrete with custom mix capability, and a concrete accessories line that includes the proprietary Plastiform reusable forming system. The company serves construction contractors, residential projects, and industrial/non-residential projects across Kentucky and Southern Indiana, with a go-to-market built on direct phone sales, facility pickup, in-house delivery, and — as of January 31, 2022 — a partnership with Ernst Concrete under which Ernst handles centralized dispatch for ready-mix orders while QSRM continues to produce concrete at its site and sell crushed limestone directly.

The business is multi-generational, currently led by brothers Jonathan Holloway (President) and Richard Holloway (Vice-President), with third-generation family members also working in the company. Pricing is not publicly disclosed — customers are directed to call the main office. The company holds industry affiliations with the Kentucky Concrete Council, Kentucky Crushed Stone Association, BBB, BIA Louisville, ABC of Indiana/Kentucky, and the Bullitt County Chamber, and maintains an active hiring pipeline for Mixer Drivers. Revenue, funding, and detailed financial data are not disclosed in any source.

• Vulcan Materials Company: Largest U.S. producer of construction aggregates — crushed stone, sand and gravel — and a major ready-mix and asphalt operator. Operates nationally with Kentucky footprint; sets regional pricing benchmarks QSRM must compete against.
• Holcim (US): Global building materials giant with U.S. cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregate operations. Overlaps with QSRM on aggregate inputs and downstream concrete, with broader portfolio including cement and packaged products.
• U.S. Concrete Inc. National ready-mix concrete and aggregates producer serving commercial, residential, and infrastructure end markets. Comparable on the ready-mix concrete side of QSRM's product mix but at significantly larger national scale.
