Blue Dot Readi-Mix Expands into South Carolina
In a significant strategic move, Blue Dot Readi-Mix, an esteemed concrete and materials supplier, has officially entered the South Carolina market with its acquisition of Sandlapper Concrete, LLC. This acquisition allows Blue Dot to deepen its roots in the Greenville, SC region, a burgeoning area that promises ample opportunity for growth and service enhancement.
Founded in 2005 by childhood friends Scott Griffin, Tony Griffin, and Paul Cochrane in Mint Hill, North Carolina, Blue Dot Readi-Mix has successfully built a reputation for quality service and reliability. The company has expanded its footprint to include nine plants across North Carolina and South Carolina and remains committed to fostering a work culture that prioritizes people, teamwork, and excellence.
"We are excited and honored to be entering the Greenville market with the acquisition of Sandlapper Concrete," shared Scott Griffin, co-founder of Blue Dot Readi-Mix. He emphasized the longstanding respect Blue Dot has for Sandlapper's leadership and commitment to service. The alignment in core values between the two firms made the acquisition a seamless addition to Blue Dot's operations.
Sandlapper Concrete, founded in 2005 and based in Greenville, SC, is highly regarded for supplying quality concrete at fair prices while emphasizing personalized service. The company operates plants in both Simpsonville and Duncan, contributing to the local economy and building sustained relationships with contractors and construction professionals.
Mark Uldrick, the founder of Sandlapper Concrete, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, acknowledging the extensive experience and resources that Blue Dot brings to the table. “Our employees and customers can expect business as usual on the job site, combined with enhanced resources and support from the established network of masonry and concrete expertise that comes from being part of the Blue Dot Readi-Mix family,” he stated. This assurance helps to alleviate any concerns regarding changes in service or operational dynamics following the acquisition.
The integration of Sandlapper Concrete into the Blue Dot family aligns with the broader vision of Blue Dot Readi-Mix: to provide comprehensive solutions within the industry while holding true to the values that have driven both companies’ success thus far. Through this expansion, Blue Dot aims to be "large enough to perform yet small enough to care," emphasizing both operational efficiency and customer-centric service.
The acquisition enriches the Trowel Craft Group, a network of ten businesses dedicated to serving the masonry and concrete construction sectors across the Southeastern United States. This strategic network supports a variety of functions, from turnkey masonry and concrete production to logistics and retail stone supply, ensuring that each affiliated company can leverage the strengths of the others for maximum efficiency and service quality.
As Blue Dot Readi-Mix continues to grow with this new acquisition, its commitment to high standards in customer satisfaction and employee development remains at the forefront of its operations. This integration marks an exciting chapter for both Blue Dot and Sandlapper Concrete as they move forward in complementary unity, poised to make a greater impact in the construction industry throughout the region.
