Continental Materials Corp. | Chicago IL – This holding company’s Concrete, Aggregates, and Construction Supplies (CA&CS) segment includes Rocky Mountain Ready Mix Concrete, Castle Concrete, and Transit Mix Concrete in Colorado. The company reported a nearly 15% decline in CA&CS sales during 2008, primarily due to a decreased level of construction along the Front Range of Colorado, the state’s most populated region. But its construction materials business experienced a smaller decline than its other business segments, doors (19%) and HVAC products (17%).
