Silvi Concrete is a family owned business that was founded in 1948 by Larry Silvi Sr. Twenty years ago, his sons John and Larry, took the reins of the company and helped transform it into the powerhouse it is today. The Silvi’s strategy is to build large central mix plants close enough to one another so that they compliment each other. The plant located next to their corporate headquarters in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania runs up to forty trucks and can produce over 250 yards per hour. With the help of another plant of the same magnitude in the area, Silvi Concrete recently delivered over 2700 yards of concrete for a warehouse floor in just over five hours. It is not unusual for them to have two 1000+ yards pours going at the same time on the same day.
Silvi also has a wide and diversified customer base. They service everyone from the homeowner and small builder to the large road and industrial contractor. They produce an excellent shotcrete mix used by many of the pool contractors in the region as well as low shrinkage, three-aggregate blended mix that is revolutionizing the commercial floor market. Every type of craftsman in the field can find the product and timely service they require at Silvi Concrete.
The Silvi fleet is comprised solely of front discharge mixers. They eliminate the need for a man to hold and guide the chute and have a long, sixteen foot reach. Many of the trucks have fiberglass barrels which don’t transfer heat or cold as quickly as conventional drums while in transit. The concrete stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They also allow you to put more concrete on each truck cutting the delivery cost per yard you pay. With well over a hundred trucks, Silvi Concrete can handle the surges that occur in this business on a daily basis.
Silvi Concrete has long been recognized as a pioneer in the ready mix industry. They are usually the first supplier in their marketplace to explore the use of new and innovative products. They take pride in tackling high volume projects with extremely rigid specification and are always on the cutting edge of technology. It’s no wonder they are the benchmark used by most concrete contractors to measure other producers
