Granite Rock Company
 PROFILE
Notify Willard Scott. A centenarian that operates two quarries and more than 10 plants, Granite Rock (founded on Valentine's Day, 1900) provides the basic materials for construction: concrete, asphalt, road oils and asphalt coatings, and masonry and wall-system products. GraniteXpress works like an ATM, allowing customers to insert a card and have material loaded any time 24 hours a day. The company has a fleet of more than 500 railroad cars, some leased, for delivering rock, sand, gravel, and concrete. Its Pavex Construction division builds roads and airports, as well as commercial and residential projects. CEO Bruce Woolpert and his family own Granite Rock (often referred to as Graniterock).
