Hall Brothers

What Hall Brothers does

Hall Brothers, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned asphalt paving and pavement preservation contractor headquartered in Marysville, Kansas, founded in 1917. The company operates three hot mix asphalt plants capable of producing 225 tons per hour and four ONYX Frictional Mastic Surface Treatment manufacturing facilities across Kansas, Texas, Missouri, and Arkansas. Its service portfolio spans highway paving, overlay, crack sealing, asphalt repair and replacement, and the proprietary ONYX pavement preservation product applied through both agency-applied and contractor-applied distribution models. Hall Brothers also produces construction aggregates through its Blue River Sand & Gravel subsidiary, acquired in 1982, supplying material for road construction and ready mix concrete plants in northeast Kansas.

The company serves cities, counties, and state departments of transportation, with pre-qualification by the Kansas Department of Transportation covering asphalt paving, aggregate base, chip seal, cold mix, curb and gutter, and aggregate surfacing. Revenue is generated through project-based government contracts via direct field sales, supplemented by material sales through Blue River and ONYX product sales. The firm has executed international work, including a 2009 Vietnam project of approximately 60 kilometers of Ultrathin Bonded Pavement for the Ministry of Transport, and is led by Chairman Dick Kistner and President Rob Lauer.

Hall Brothers pursues a vertically integrated model that captures margin across aggregate production, asphalt manufacturing, and paving crews. Distribution leverage comes from multi-state manufacturing positioning, industry association memberships (NAPA, AGC, KAPA), and a partner contractor network that applies ONYX in states where Hall Brothers does not maintain its own crews. The customer base is relationship-driven and government-focused, with testimonials spanning 20+ years of repeat engagements with municipal and county public works departments.
