Cadillac Asphalt

What Cadillac Asphalt does

Cadillac Asphalt is a Michigan-based asphalt producer and full-service paving contractor serving government transportation agencies and commercial customers across Southeast Michigan. Founded in 1946 and operated today as a joint venture between CRH and the Edw. C. Levy Co., the company runs nine asphalt plants with in-house hot-mix asphalt (HMA) production capacity exceeding 600 tons per hour per plant, supported by 15+ fully-equipped paving crews and the largest liquid asphalt terminal in Michigan. Its product portfolio includes standard HMA, polymer-modified pavements for enhanced durability, and porous asphalt for stormwater management, with the company recycling more than 400,000 tons of reclaimed asphalt pavement annually.

The company generates revenue through three streams: project-based paving services for highway, county, and municipal clients (bid through MDOT and local road commissions); wholesale hot-mix asphalt and aggregate materials sold to external contractors; and aggregate supply through partner-owned locations operated under the 'One Michigan' umbrella with Michigan Paving & Materials and Stoneco of Michigan. Distribution is regional, with materials delivered from company-owned plants and crews deployed directly to job sites via a field sales motion; quoting is handled through a central order desk and dedicated estimators. Headquartered in Canton with a corporate office in Farmington Hills, the company reports 251-500 employees, a 12-location footprint across southeast Michigan, and consistent recognition from NAPA and APAM/MDOT, including the 2025 Larry H. Lemon Award and ten NAPA Quality in Construction Awards in 2025.

The business model is asset-heavy and contract-driven, with significant capital barriers from plant ownership, paving fleet, and aggregate control. Recent activity includes the completed rebuild of the Dix-Detroit plant in June 2025, plus prior plant acquisitions in Shelby (2011), Barrett (2015), and Monroe (2019). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, but the scale of nine plants, 15+ crews, and ongoing award cadence indicate a sizable regional player embedded in the public infrastructure value chain across Michigan.
