Brief Business History

Schmitz Ready Mix has been serving homeowners and construction professionals in Southeastern Wisconsin since 1949. The company adds more than just sand, stone, water, and cement to each of its loads.  Bonded to its technical expertise and quality materials is individualized service and project support, legacies from company founders Harvey and Nick Schmitz, who opened the first Schmitz Ready Mix plant in Port Washington to support the construction boom in the north and west sections of the city after World War II.

Today, with seven strategically-placed, state of the art ready-mix operations, Schmitz Ready Mix provides materials, supplies, service, and technical support for concrete projects from the Illinois border to Sheboygan, and from the Lake Michigan shoreline to the western watches of Darien, LaGrange, Oconomowoc, Summit, and Wayne Townships.

Schmitz Ready Mix delivers throughout Southeastern Wisconsin, presently serving all of Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Washington, and Waukesha counties, plus portions of Kenosha, Sheboygan, and Walworth counties.

Best Business Practices: Individualized Service and Project Support

Rather than talking to a central dispatcher, customers ordering concrete from Schmitz Ready Mix customers call directly to the plant manager who will both batch and dispatch their concrete.  This direct communication helps eliminate errors and allows plant managers to work with customers to tailor delivery schedules to meet specific project needs.

The company's knowledgeable personnel ask good questions, provide access to reliable resources and useful information, and offer technical support and solutions to help increase project quality and efficiency.  They share news and expertise on technical and placement innovations, scheduling considerations, job site safety, environmental issues, and other pertinent facts.

The delivery savvy of Schmitz Ready Mix drivers is enhanced by the company’s ongoing investments in training and in perhaps the region's largest all front-discharge ready-mix fleet.  These investments yield tangible benefits, saving contractors and homeowners both time and money by eliminating the need for additional job site personnel to manage concrete chutes and direct the ready mix driver.

Rigorous, daily quality control programs – in the lab and in the field – ensure Schmitz Ready Mix concrete meets project and in-house specifications, helping the company acquire and retain loyal customers.  Schmitz Ready Mix undertakes more quality control tests as a percentage of concrete hauled than any other concrete producer in Southeastern Wisconsin.

Southeastern Wisconsin’s Preferred Choice

Technical excellence, delivery distinction, and a passion for project success are why Schmitz Ready Mix is Southeastern Wisconsin’s preferred choice for ready-mixed concrete.
