Sakrete Commemorates 90 Years of Innovation at World of Concrete 2026

In January 2026, Sakrete, the pioneering brand behind bagged concrete mixes, proudly kicked off its 90th anniversary celebration at the World of Concrete event in Las Vegas, Nevada. This notable occasion not only showcases Sakrete's journey through the construction industry but also highlights the brand's unwavering commitment to delivering innovative solutions for builders, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Historical Significance of Sakrete

Founded in 1936, Sakrete set a new standard by introducing the first bagged concrete mix. This revolutionary product allowed masonry professionals access to bulk material in convenient, manageable portions, revolutionizing the construction landscape.
