UPTON, KY — June 2, 2026
SRM Materials has completed a major investment at its Upton, Kentucky quarry with the installation of new processing equipment designed to increase production capacity and improve operational efficiency at the site.
The upgraded operation enhances SRM Materials’ ability to supply high-quality limestone products to customers throughout the region while supporting the company’s growing network of ready-mix plants and construction operations.
“We’re excited to continue investing in our Upton quarry and strengthen our ability to serve customers across Kentucky and surrounding markets,” said Ryan Hollingshead, President of SRM Materials. “This expansion improves our production capabilities and reinforces our commitment to providing dependable products and service to the communities and contractors we serve.”
The improvements position the Upton quarry to better support infrastructure, commercial, and residential construction projects throughout the region. Increased production capacity and enhanced processing capabilities will also help improve material availability and turnaround times for customers.
The materials division was created to provide SRM Concrete plants with dependable aggregates and has since expanded to produce and supply limestone, granite, river rock, and sand products to a wide range of customers.
Founded in 1999 by Mike and Melissa Hollingshead in Smyrna, Tennessee, SRM Concrete is a family-owned company that operates a network of ready-mix plants, quarries, cement terminals, and related services across 24 states.
