Prairie Material
ISCP Organizational Member since 2001
In 1948, John Oremus founded Prairie Material with three trucks, a load of stone and a ton of ambition. John's success was built on the philosophy of better service to the customer, and it is based on these three principles: produce the highest quality products at competitive prices, provide excellent customer service, and always deliver products and services in a timely manner. These core values are still at the center of how Prairie continues to uphold John's tradition of excellence.
Over the years, Prairie has grown to be one of the largest family-owned and operated producers of ready-mix concrete in the Midwest. With four divisions serving customers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, Prairie has the support structure in place to provide all the materials needed, for any size project.
In 1981, Prairie acquired Illinois Brick and, in 1984, Prairie opened its first stone quarry. Prairie now operates 12 quarries and has 17 brick locations.
