Silvi Materials was recently featured in Construction in Focus, a leading trade publication covering innovation, growth, and leadership across the construction industry. The article, “Cementing the Future,” highlights a period of significant momentum for our company, marked by strategic growth, infrastructure investment, and a continued commitment to quality and innovation.

From geographic expansion in the Southeast to new cement and concrete facilities across the Mid-Atlantic, the feature offers an in-depth look at how Silvi Materials is positioning itself for the future while remaining grounded in the values that have guided our family-owned business since 1947.

Key Highlights from the Feature

Strategic Growth Through Acquisition

The article details Silvi Materials’ acquisition of Eagle Rock Concrete, a leading ready-mix producer based in Raleigh, North Carolina. The addition of Eagle Rock expands our footprint in the Southeast, strengthens our logistics network, and brings nearly 200 new team members into the Silvi family, while preserving the local leadership and culture that makes Eagle Rock successful.

Major Investment in Cement + Slag Infrastructure

Construction in Focus also spotlights our expansion into North Carolina through a deep-water cement import terminal at the Port of Morehead City. Designed to handle Type I/II low-alkali cement and Grade 120 slag, the terminal represents one of the largest infrastructure investments in Silvi Materials’ history and will significantly enhance the reliability and reach of our cement supply throughout the Southeast. In the meantime, Silvi is already operating a temporary rail loadout facility in Morehead City, supplied by our flagship cement terminal in Bristol, Pennsylvania, demonstrating our ability to move quickly while building for the long term.

New Concrete Production Capacity in New Jersey

The article highlights the opening of our RexCon Mobile 12 concrete batch plant in Newark, New Jersey. Strategically located near major transportation corridors, the plant adds critical capacity to support high-volume and high-strength concrete applications in one of the region’s most active construction markets.

Industry Recognition for Excellence in Concrete

Silvi Materials’ commitment to quality was further recognized with the 2025 Excellence in Concrete Award for High-Rise Construction from the Eastern Pennsylvania + Delaware Chapter of the American Concrete Institute. The award honored Silvi’s work on a 31-story concrete residential tower in Philadelphia, including the use of a custom slag mix and a detailed thermal control plan.

Technology, Automation, + What’s Next

The feature also explores Silvi Materials’ ongoing investments in technology, from a company-wide ERP and CRM overhaul to automated cement loadout systems and early exploration of AI-assisted equipment inspections. These initiatives reflect our belief that operational excellence, safety, and sustainability go hand in hand.

Built on Legacy, Focused on the Future

While the article captures a moment of rapid growth, it also reinforces something that hasn’t changed: Silvi Materials remains a family-owned company, guided by long-term thinking and a commitment to doing things the right way, for our customers, our employees, and the communities we serve.
