Concrete Technologies

What Concrete Technologies does

Concrete Technologies, Inc. (CTI) is a privately held, fully integrated concrete solutions provider headquartered in Johnston, Iowa, operating across Central Iowa since 2004. The company runs three coordinated divisions: Concrete Technologies, Inc., which delivers full-service commercial concrete construction including foundation floors, highway paving, and replacement contracting; CTI Ready Mix, which manufactures and delivers premium ready mix concrete with custom mix designs; and CTI Recycling, which processes construction materials into recycled aggregates. The platform is anchored by 11 strategically located ready mix plants and 5 recycling/crushing facilities that together support reliable delivery coverage across the Des Moines metro, West Des Moines, Ames, and surrounding Central Iowa communities. No proprietary technology stack, software platform, or AI capability is disclosed; ordering and dispatch are handled by phone.

CTI's customers span commercial construction contractors and infrastructure/highway contractors as primary segments, with secondary exposure to residential builders and companies purchasing recycled aggregates. Named anchor clients include the Iowa Department of Transportation (Highway 141 Flyover, First Street Interchange) and the City of Ankeny (First Street Diverging Diamond Interchange), evidencing competence on DOT-specification and municipal interchange work. The company generates revenue through three streams: per-cubic-yard / tonnage ready mix sales and delivery (transaction-fee model), project-based commercial construction contracts, and recycled aggregate sales. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct phone dispatch for ready mix and recycling orders with bid-based sales for larger construction engagements, supported by memberships in MBI, IRMCA, ICPA, HBA, ACPA, and AGC.

The firm is privately held with 101–250 employees and no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A, or leadership changes. CTI emphasizes its low Experience Modification Rating as a safety credential and maintains an active but conventional digital presence (website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube). Strategic positioning rests on physical distribution density, vertical integration across supply/construction/recycling, and long-tenured local relationships rather than technology differentiation.

Scale indicators4 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Manatts: Iowa-based diversified construction services and ready-mix concrete company serving central and eastern Iowa. Comparable in regional footprint, integrated ready-mix and paving services, and DOT-grade project execution in the same Central Iowa market.
• Croell Redi-Mix: Iowa-headquartered ready-mix concrete producer with multiple plants across Iowa and surrounding states. Direct competitor to CTI Ready Mix in overlapping Iowa geographies, with similar full-service concrete offering including aggregate and construction services.

Broad incumbents

• Ash Grove (CRH plc): US cement and ready-mix concrete producer owned by CRH, with Midwest-heavy plant network. Comparable in cement and ready-mix manufacturing, and operates competing concrete plants in the broader Midwest region near Iowa.
• Vulcan Materials Company: National leader in aggregates, with growing ready-mix concrete exposure. Comparable in that it produces the upstream aggregate input CTI sources, and competes for large infrastructure paving contracts; a potential acquirer or competitor in adjacent markets.
• Holcim US: US subsidiary of global cement and aggregates giant, with significant ready-mix and concrete products operations. Comparable in ready-mix manufacturing and integrated value chain; represents a national incumbent that could pressure CTI on large projects.
• Summit Materials: Vertically integrated cement, aggregate, and ready-mix producer with US-wide footprint. Overlaps with CTI in ready-mix and aggregates, with the scale and capital base to compete in regional infrastructure bids.
• Martin Marietta Materials: One of the largest US producers of aggregates and ready-mixed concrete, operating across multiple states. Broader incumbent with overlapping ready-mix product lines and the capital scale to enter or expand in Central Iowa, making it a long-term competitive threat.

Others

• Corridor Recycling & Crushing (regional recyclers): Concrete and aggregate recycling operators in the Midwest. Comparable to CTI Recycling's crushing and reuse business model, with similar end markets for recycled road base and fill.

Regional players

• L.M. Olson Concrete Construction: Iowa-based commercial and residential concrete contractor. Comparable in poured concrete foundation, flatwork, and structural concrete services, with overlapping Central Iowa customer base among GCs and developers.

Emerging players

• GCC of America: US arm of Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua, focused on cement, ready-mix, and concrete products in the central US. Comparable in integrated cement-to-concrete value chain and could expand into Iowa through greenfield or acquisition.
