In 1908, the Model T was introduced to the public and the first mile of concrete was laid in Detroit. It was also the year that a nineteen-year-old boy opened his first roadside crushing operation in Bloomington, Indiana. The company, now known as Rogers Group, Inc., was founded by Ralph Rogers and is still owned by the Rogers family. In its nearly 100-year history, the company has become the largest privately owned crushed stone producer in the nation and the seventh largest producer overall employing 1500 employees in facilities across five states.
Quarries producing crushed stone remain the foundation of the company. Hot mix asphalt, road construction, sand & gravel, asphalt paving, and retaining block/wall, all play integral parts in the company's profile as well.
Producing quality construction aggregates in harmony with neighboring communities and the environment is a top priority to Rogers Group and its employees.
Rogers Group recognizes employees as its greatest asset. Safety both on and off the job is the company's highest priority. Employees are encouraged to continuously improve themselves. Through ongoing training and education, employees are afforded many opportunities to master a new subject or refine an existing skill. Achievement of excellence, whether on the job or in the community, is recognized and rewarded. This atmosphere creates a sense of pride and participation as the people of Rogers Group work together to realize their full potential.
Rogers Group has helped dozens of communities use its natural resources to transform its physical environments. By serving as a convenient, economical source for raw materials, Rogers Group has helped build better roads and highways, schools and playgrounds, office buildings and hospitals. The company's leadership in environmental stewardship, facility beautification, and community involvement help build a better life in communities where Rogers' employees live and work.
