Whitaker Contracting Corp., a prominent player in the construction materials industry, has been a vital part of Alabama's infrastructure development since its inception in 1957. The company is well-known for its operations in quarry management, asphalt production, and site work. Recently, on April 29, 2024, Whitaker Contracting was acquired by Vulcan Materials Company, one of the largest producers of construction aggregates in the United States. This acquisition consolidates four quarries and three asphalt plants under the Vulcan umbrella, enhancing their capacity to serve the growing needs of the construction sector.
Post-acquisition, Whitaker Contracting's operations, including both construction and asphalt services, will be rebranded as Vulcan Materials Asphalt and Construction, LLC. This transition reflects Vulcan's commitment to maintaining the high standards and quality of services that Whitaker has provided over the decades. Customers can expect continued excellence in material supply and construction services, facilitated by the combined expertise of both companies' sales and operating teams.
With this new chapter, Vulcan Materials aims to further its mission of building a better Alabama through reliable and quality construction materials. The integration of Whitaker's resources signifies an exciting time for the regional construction industry, as it combines local knowledge with Vulcan's extensive operational capabilities, promoting innovation and efficiency in construction practices.
