The list, released in the July 2007 issue, ranks the top 100 companies in several different specialties and is categorized by the amount of concrete revenue garnered in 2006.

“We are honored to be included in Concrete Construction’s prestigious ‘Top Performers’ list,” said Tim Penick, President of T.B. Penick & Sons. “The honor reflects this company’s commitment to growth, not only in dollars and cents but in our commitment to achieve the highest standards of quality and innovation in the field,” adds Penick.
