Meeting Big Challenges with New Solutions
In 1917, L.D. Bailey and D.W. Longfellow envisioned the need for a comprehensive, reliable transportation system as the foundation for economic development. From this vision, Cretex Companies, Inc. was born with the mission to supply quality concrete drainage products to advance the expanding infrastructure needs of a growing nation.
Through prudent investment decisions and strategic acquisitions, Cretex has grown into a large company with an excellent financial capacity. Although much has changed over the last 100 years, our commitment to providing quality service remains unchanged.
