Pontchartrain Materials Corporation, L.L.C. (PMC), established in 1976 in New Orleans, has cemented its status as a premier supplier of construction aggregates in Southern Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Initially founded as a shell dredging company by George Douglass, Jr., PMC originally focused on supplying clamshell material for cement production. Over the years, the company adapted to industry changes, transitioning from dredging to a wholesale and retail business model in the aggregate market following the closure of local cement mills.
Today, PMC specializes in two primary product lines: limestone aggregates and recycled concrete. Limestone materials are sourced from northern states and represent a significant portion of their offerings, while recycled concrete is processed at their facilities in New Orleans and Belle Chasse. These products serve essential functions in construction, providing base materials for highways, streets, parking lots, and residential driveways.
With over 45 years of operational experience, PMC operates multiple aggregate yards across East Bank, West Bank, Slidell, and LaPlace, ensuring competitive pricing and accessibility for customers in the region. Their extensive expertise in the construction industry, supported by a loyal workforce and advanced equipment, positions them for continued success and service to a diverse clientele, which includes federal, state, and local municipalities, as well as private contractors and homeowners.
In addition to aggregate supply, PMC also engages in marine construction, equipped with specialized equipment for unloading and placement projects. The company’s commitment to quality materials and customer service has made it a vital player in the Southern Louisiana construction sector, contributing significantly to infrastructure development and environmental sustainability efforts through the recycling of concrete.
