About us
Arcosa Specialty Materials is the result of a long and successful history of doing one thing and one thing only. Treating people right. Our customers, our employees, our partners, and vendors. We believe when you take care of the people that matter most, everything else will take care of itself. Our roots go back to 1955 when the Harrison Gypsum Company originally began as a small family operation supplying gypsum to the family farm and neighbors. Originally named the Cement Gypsum Company, Harrison Mine No. 1 was opened near Cement, OK, and underwent the name change to Harrison Gypsum Company in 1956. Over the years the company developed the mining business by supplying raw gypsum rock to nearby manufacturers of Portland cement. As the market area for Harrison Gypsum expanded, gypsum reserves and production capacity also expanded. With business growing, capital investments were made to upgrade to modern mining equipment and improve infrastructure. In 1994, Harrison Gypsum’s mine #2 was named the largest single gypsum mine in the United States by the U.S. Department of the Interior Publication. Today, the total gypsum reserves of Harrison Gypsum Company is estimated to be in excess of a quarter of a billion tons. In 2012, HIG Capital, a leading global private equity investment firm, completed a recapitalization of Harrison Gypsum. This provided Harrison Gypsum with financial and operating resources that will enable us to further capitalize on our significant growth potential. 2015 marked a new chapter in the history of the company when Harrison Gypsum became ACG Materials. This new name gives a strong nod to our history as a company, but also to our future opportunities.

In the latest step of our ARC100 journey, a new team was created to design a Mentor Process for new hires, transfers and temporary employees. The team defined its goals in the following purpose statement: “The purpose of CIT#5 is to develop a thorough, caring mentor process that encourages a positive safety culture and consistent accountability that measures change and promotes teamwork to ensure long-term sustainable success. (this process will apply to all new hires, transfers and temps)” The team developed a process that includes defined activities for all levels of the organization, a training plan to prepare everyone for involvement and a measurement system to track the results. This new process will be piloted at 3 different plants that include Bessie, OK, Boulder, CO and Carson City, NV in late July and early August. The goal is to gauge effectiveness and get feedback for improvement prior to implementation in all locations.

As an effective solution, Arcosa Lightweight aggregate reduces heavy metals and fights pathogen growth from industrial stormwater. Here's a great article in Stormwater Solutions Magazine to learn how expanded shale, clay, and slate aggregates like the kind produced by Arcosa Lightweight can be used as an effective preventative measure in biofilters as a first-level treatment for industrial stormwater. https://lnkd.in/gtVB7_xi

In an article from MASONRY magazine, a mason lifts and places concrete block totaling 3.8 tons in a typical work day, the equivalent of two small SUVs. Over a week’s time, 19 tons, or seven Ford F350 trucks! Impressive, but the Checkoff is also looking for ways to lighten the load. A combination of lighter, easier-to-maneuver CMUs and technologies like exoskeletons are helping to improve morale, safety and efficiency of our valued workforce.
