Mid State Concrete Products

What Mid State Concrete Products does

Mid State Concrete Products LLC is a family-owned precast concrete manufacturer founded in 1975 by Ralph and Pat Vander Veen and headquartered in Santa Maria, California. Now in its second generation of ownership (Rob and Anneke Vander Veen), the company operates a single manufacturing plant with an in-house batch plant, producing a broad portfolio of precast concrete products organized across 16+ categories: agricultural products, architectural furnishings, burial vaults (including the licensed Trigard line), custom structures, drainage inlets, highway products (including CalTrans-compliant K-Rails), junction structures, light pole bases, manholes, miscellaneous precast, Redi-Rock retaining walls, septic and wastewater tanks, tank accessories, and utility structures. The core technology is controlled-environment precast manufacturing — reinforcement setup, concrete casting, stripping, curing, and site transport/installation — with engineered LEED-capable products using recycled materials such as Fly Ash, Slag, Steel, and recycled concrete.

The company serves four primary verticals: municipal/government infrastructure (governments and counties requiring CalTrans and local specifications), contractors and builders needing custom-engineered precast, the funeral industry via burial vaults, and agricultural customers. Its revenue model is quote-based, one-time product sales supplemented by delivery and setting services (priced by distance, unload time, and installation requirements) and custom design/engineering services. The go-to-market is sales-led and inside-sales driven with a Chief Estimator handling customer quotes via phone and email, no public pricing, and a direct delivery fleet serving 16+ California counties from Santa Barbara to the Bay Area. Mid State derives differentiation from its licensed manufacturer status for Redi-Rock (since 2006) and Pole Base (since 2020), its municipal-approved vendor status across multiple California jurisdictions, and its in-house engineering and custom-structure capabilities.
