Quikrete Companies joins with Charah Dry Mix

The Quikrete Companies announces a joint venture with Charah Dry Mix LLC to manufacture and distribute selected products under the Quikrete brand. Charah Dry Mix is a recent spin-off from Charah Inc., a leading ash management provider for the coal-fired electric utility industry based in Louisville, Ky. Charah Dry Mix produces a patent-pending concrete mix made with bottom ash, a material produced by coal-burning utilities that is recycled as a concrete aggregate.

"The joint venture with Quikrete will leverage Charah's innovation in bottom ash recycling," said Charles Price, president and CEO of Charah, Inc. "We are fortunate to find such a strong partner as Quikrete to share our vision of conserving our natural resources through recycling."

Quikrete will package all bottom ash products with Charah's patent-pending two-handled plastic bag, making the products easy to lift and carry.
