Kentucky Concrete, Inc. - The company was founded in 1979 under the name Hardin County Ready Mix, Inc. by nine local builder/developers to insure a readily available source of concrete for their own use, as well as filling a gap in the market for timely deliveries of concrete. In 1982, the late Joe K. Schlatter purchased the stock from the other eight local builders. With steady growth over the next few years and a growing need for an easier access to the Elizabethtown market, the assets of Larue County Ready Mix was purchased in early 1984. The business was incorporated under the name of Lincoln Trail Ready Mix, Inc. and ran separate from Hardin County Ready Mix, Inc. Read more.
