To put it simply, Peckham Industries, Inc. sells materials and provides services to construct buildings, roads, and infrastructure. We are a materials supply company that delivers and installs those materials. Our products are used in highway and building construction and are essential in modern life. Peckham Industries delivers high-quality customized solutions to thousands of road construction, highway maintenance, and building construction customers. Our dedicated craftspeople-with high levels of technical expertise-create products that meet and often surpass the most stringent specifications of local, state and federal authorities.
Ready Mix Concrete, also referred to as Portland cement concrete, is the foundation upon which all buildings are constructed. Peckham entered the market with the acquisition of William E. Dailey, Inc. in Shaftsbury, Vermont and we now operate ready mixed concrete plants in Southern Vermont and Westchester County, NY, following the acquisition of Byram Concrete & Supply LLC in 2010. We use only high-quality specification aggregate, and we maintain modern laboratory facilities to constantly monitor production and assure product quality.
Aggregates, which consist of crushed stone, sand, and gravel, are among the most abundant natural resources and are a vital raw material used by construction, agriculture, and industry. Aggregates are fundamental to our lifestyle. Imagine our lives without roads, bridges, streets, bricks, concrete, wallboard, and roofing tiles or without paint, glass, plastics, fertilizers, and medicine! Every small town or big city and every road connecting them were built and are maintained with aggregates. More than 90 percent of asphalt pavements and 80 percent of concrete are aggregates.
Peckham, through its various subsidiary companies, has dedicated itself to delivering the highest quality materials and custom solutions to thousands of road construction and maintenance customers for over 90 years and promises to continue this reputable tradition far into the future. Our motto is "The Customer Comes First" and we post Customer's Bill of Rights at all our facilities. All of us take pride in our Company's ability to be a multi-solution provider for every paving or roadway challenge.
Peckham began in 1924 as a construction company. We have expanded to include extensive construction materials production and supply capabilities that give us great control over every aspect of the project. Wholly owned subsidiaries Peckham Road Corporation and Palmer Paving Corp provide comprehensive road paving and construction services throughout the Northeast. These services include consultation services, paving of all types, site work, maintenance, surface treatments, full depth reclamation and cold in-place recycling.
