Brannan Ready Mix - Founded in 1906, the Brannan Sand & Gravel Company has played an integral role in the growth and development of Colorado’s Front Range. Originally a sand and gravel supplier, the company introduced asphalt in 1943 and unveiled its ready mixed concrete division in 1995 to support the increasing demand of rigid pavement. Not far behind, 2003 ushered in the formation of the Brannan Construction Company, specializing in pipeline and tunneling operations. Today, the Brannan Companies provide a wide range of aggregates, asphalt paving and maintenance services, ready mixed concrete and specialized construction services. Read more.

C&W Manufacturing - C&W Manufacturing began as a small company that offered shaker central dust collectors to batch plants. Origins of the company began in the early 1970's with a resurfacing in 1978 as C&W Manufacturing. In 1992, C&W had nine employees and 8,600 square feet of operating space when Deryl Beakley purchased the company. Under his leadership, C&W's sales have grown 30 fold. In 1997, C&W relocated to a new facility in Alvarado, TX, just south of Fort Worth. This new facility increased operations space to 14,400 sq. ft, which was then expanded to 34,400 sq. ft. in 2002, and yet another expansion in 2006 to increase office space and give overall operational space just under 40,000 sq. ft. Currently, C&W has 41 employees and is continuing to grow in size and sales due to an increasingly high production demand. Read more.
