Supplying Omaha’s Concrete Since 1929
From One Plant to a Regional Leader
Ready Mixed Concrete Co., A CRH Company, has been a cornerstone of Omaha’s construction industry for nearly a century. Originally established with a single plant at 43rd and Nicholas Streets, the company quickly became a trusted supplier of high-quality concrete for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects across the Omaha metro. As a division of Lyman-Richey Corporation, Ready Mixed Concrete Co. has grown through innovation, reliability, and a deep commitment to serving the evolving needs of builders and contractors throughout Nebraska and western Iowa.
Milestones in Omaha’s Construction History
In the decades that followed, Ready Mixed Concrete Co. helped shape the region’s growth by supplying concrete for some of the most significant construction projects in Omaha’s history. From the expansion of the Interstate Highway System to the development of Offutt Air Force Base and the First National Bank Tower, our concrete has supported the foundations of the city’s infrastructure. Our pioneering use of ready mixed concrete in highway construction set a national standard and positioned Omaha as a leader in modern paving techniques.
Innovation, Expansion, and Community Impact
The 1980s and 1990s marked a period of rapid expansion and modernization. Ready Mixed Concrete Co. introduced computerized batching systems, expanded its fleet of mixer trucks, and opened new plants across the metro area. Strategic acquisitions—including Gerhold Concrete and Wilson Concrete—allowed us to extend our reach while maintaining the quality and service that define our brand. Our plants in Omaha, Bellevue, Council Bluffs, and surrounding communities continue to deliver consistent, high-performance concrete tailored to each project’s specifications.
A Legacy of Quality and Service
As a key division of Lyman-Richey Corporation and CRH, Ready Mixed Concrete Co. proudly serves the Omaha metro with sustainable, innovative concrete solutions. With a legacy built on trust, technology, and teamwork, we remain committed to helping build the homes, roads, and landmarks that define our region. Whether it’s a residential driveway in Papillion or a large-scale commercial development in Council Bluffs, we’re building the future—one pour at a time.
