The hardscape industry has grown steadily in recent years, as homeowners and businesses have expanded their horizons, creating functional and aesthetically attractive outdoor living spaces. Midland Concrete Products has taken full advantage of the move outdoors, with an expanding line of hardscape products distributed throughout the region from its home base near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Complementary to Midland’s growing product line was the need for a state-of-the-art batch plant capable of increased production of consistent high quality concrete. After considering their options, Midland Concrete Products entrusted Advanced Concrete Technologies to fulfill their mixing and batching solution; the beginning of a valuable partnership.
