Centennial Milestone Highlights Expanded Product Access for Concrete and Building Envelope Markets
W. R. MEADOWS, INC. has marked its 100th year in business, a milestone that reflects the company’s expansion from a single-product supplier in 1926 to a manufacturer of more than 350 construction materials used in concrete and building envelope applications.
According to the company, its current product range includes expansion joints, joint sealants, construction liquids, vapor barriers, waterproofing membranes, air barriers, and roofing systems. These materials are used by contractors and project owners in infrastructure, commercial construction, and building restoration projects.
W. R. MEADOWS reports that it now operates 12 manufacturing locations across the United States and Canada, enabling regional availability through an established distributor network. The company stated that acquisitions and brand additions—including HUEBERT FIBERBOARD, BLUE RIDGE FIBERBOARD, ALCOT PLASTICS, GEMITE, and DECK-O-SEAL—have broadened the range of solutions accessible to end users.
The company also noted that its Hampshire, Illinois Innovation Center provides laboratory testing and training resources intended to support product selection and application practices for contractors and specifiers.
Matthew Price, President of W. R. MEADOWS, said the anniversary reflects long-term relationships with distributors and construction professionals while reinforcing the company’s focus on future development and customer support.
For contractors and project teams, the centennial highlights the continued availability of a consolidated source for concrete protection and building envelope products backed by domestic manufacturing and technical resources, according to the company.
