The Foundation Is Poured

It all began in a union hall, with a carpenter’s vision and a forming system that changed everything.

Now I have been known to embellish a tad in telling stories, but I promise to narrate as accurately as possible. 

Let’s start… 

In February of 1950, George C. Hill signed the corporate papers to set Union Concrete on a long journey. 

He was a Carpenter Foreman, working out of Local 9 in Buffalo. 

The Carpenters and Laborers Local 210 saw a need for a signatory contractor doing concrete foundations with a newly developed forming system. 

They approached George with the idea, came to terms with financing, bought some stock, and the rest is history!
