Superior Materials Holdings

What Superior Materials Holdings does

Superior Materials Holdings, LLC is a privately held ready-mix concrete producer headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brazilian multinational Votorantim Cimentos operating under its VC North America umbrella. The company was formed in 1999 through the merger of four established ready-mix companies, the oldest of which dates to 1904, and today operates 15 fixed ready-mix production facilities plus two portable plants through its Superior On-Site division across Detroit Metro, Flint, and Greater Lansing. It serves commercial contractors, MDOT and municipal infrastructure projects, residential customers, and industrial facilities, holding MDOT certification and certified local business status with the City of Detroit and Wayne County.

The company's product portfolio centers on ready-mix concrete and is extended through performance-based mixes (High Performance Concrete at 6,000+ psi, Self-Consolidating Concrete, and Structural Lightweight Concrete at 90-115 lb/ft³), decorative concrete, and a full line of concrete additives including air-entraining agents, water-reducing chemicals, accelerators, superplasticizers, and reinforcing fibers. Sustainable solutions such as CarbonCure technology, Portland-Limestone Cement (delivering a 10% carbon footprint reduction), and Supplementary Cementitious Materials (fly ash, slag, silica fume, natural pozzolans) form a distinct product line targeting LEED-eligible and lower-carbon projects. ACI-certified personnel operate an in-house lab with up to 400,000-lb compression testing capacity and provide mix design, color matching, field services, and quality assurance.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of ready-mix concrete, concrete additives, and SCMs, supplemented by professional technical services such as specification review, custom mix design, lab testing, and field services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is project-driven based on mix design, volume, delivery distance, and market conditions. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeted at commercial contractors and government projects, supported by an inside-sales toll-free order desk for residential and mid-market customers, and the on-site Superior On-Site division for high-profile commercial pours. The company markets primarily through industry association memberships, project showcases on its website, and corporate social media.
