Our Story

National Block & Ready-Mix began back in 1946 when four childhood friends came together to start a business. Each had just returned from World War II and felt inspired to start a concrete block business after observing an old Czech immigrant farmer create and lay one block at a time with a store-bought mold. In three years, the business grew so much that they had no choice but to expand their operation. The original plant location in Westland, MI was purchased in 1949 and allowed the business the space it needed to keep up with growing demands. Over the decades, National Block & Ready-Mix has been serving the local area with devotion and pride.
