BEAVERTOWN BLOCK COMPANY INC.

Beavertown Block Co., Inc. was founded in Beaver Springs, PA in 1922 by Kimber Sidney ("K.S.") Kline, Sr. In that first year the infant company produced 4, 158 concrete blocks by hand, using forms. Many of the first blocks were used to build Kline Motors in Beaver Springs, Pennsylvania.

Within a few years, the company moved to Stahl's Quarry in Middleburg, close to a source of by-product used in the production of the block. This mutually beneficial relationship helped Beavertown Block Co., Inc. to enjoy moderate growth during the Depression. By 1934 the company had grown to four employees and produced 82, 300 blocks annually. In 1938 the company produced its one-millionth block.

The war years of the early 1940s saw a sharp increase in demand for concrete blocks.

The company grew rapidly and by 1966 annual production had increased to 3, 169, 362 units and distribution included all of Pennsylvania and the southern tier of New York.

In 1967 Beavertown Block Co., Inc. merged with Markle Concrete Products Company in Pleasant Gap.

The 70s saw continued growth for the company

In October of 1999 Beavertown Block Co., Inc. started construction of a 9, 185 sq. ft. polishing and shot blasting facility. This state-of-the-art facility is the first of its kind in the United States, far surpassing anything being used to this point in time.

Today the company operates its own fleet of 39 trucks and delivers products throughout central Pennsylvania, southern New York, and as far away as Ohio, West Virginia, Niagra Falls, and New Jersey.
