On October 27, Superior Materials marked the grand re-opening of its Jefferson concrete plant in Detroit, celebrating the completion of a $15 million investment that has doubled the facility’s production capacity.

The event welcomed customers, local officials, suppliers, community representatives, and VCNA employees from across the organization to tour the upgraded facility and recognize the significance of this investment in Southeast Michigan.

The excitement surrounding the project was felt throughout the day. As Edilson Chimilovski, President of Aggregates and Ready-Mix, Votorantim Cimentos North America, shared following the event:

“I am so proud of the team and excited to see many safe, high-quality, great margins, concrete yards going out of this yard for many years to come.”

The enhanced facility represents more than increased production capabilities. It demonstrates Superior Materials’ ongoing commitment to its people, our dedication to Our VC Way value of Customer Focus, and our responsibility to the communities we serve, while supporting continued growth and development in Detroit.

A standout feature of the project is the new stormwater management system, designed to reduce potable water consumption and help mitigate potential flooding. The system includes three underground pipes, each measuring 7.5 feet in diameter, with a combined storage capacity of nearly 80,000 gallons. This infrastructure captures, stores, and redirects stormwater runoff for reuse and controlled discharge into the municipal sewer system. Recovered water can be used for dust control, stockpile management, and concrete production.

This investment reinforces Superior Materials’ dedication to operational excellence, environmental stewardship, and long-term growth in the region.

Congratulations to the entire Superior Materials team, and thank you to everyone who contributed to bringing this vision to life!
