ABOUT US
Purdy Materials is a locally owned and operated business. Our family has been farming in Tippecanoe County for five generations and providing construction materials to mid-North Indiana for more than 25 years.In 1987, Purdy Concrete built
its first batch plant to supply a rapidly growing construction market with
ready mix concrete. Over the years, as customers requested new products and
additional services, more batch plants and mixer trucks were added.
In 1993, Purdy Materials converted 30 acres of farm land from traditional row
crops to Kentucky Bluegrass sod. Since then, our turfgrass acreage has grown to
over 110 acres and we provide a year-round crop to the marketplace. On the rest
of the farm, we continue to raise soybeans and field corn.
In 1997, Purdy Materials started mining sand and gravel to supply its concrete
operation with quality aggregates. Our newest plant supplies a wide range of
sand, gravel, limestone, top soil, custom-blended soils, landscape boulders and
other specialty products to federal, state and local agencies, as well as
commercial and residential contractors.
Today, we manage a diverse set of businesses. We are proud to work with many of
the same customers, vendors and employees we started with more than 25 years
ago. We are constantly looking for better ways to serve our customers. To
support this goal, we foster an entrepreneurial and team-based work
environment.
We also invest heavily in new technology, specialized equipment and ongoing employee
training.
