Buehner
Block Company formally started in 1937 by the Buehner Brothers. Our
facility is located in the heart
of the Salt Lake Valley, just off the freeway and ten minutes from the downtown area. We are Utah's longest established CMU
producer and through our history of growth within our community have enjoyed a
reputation of integrity, quality, and excellence.
Through out the world builders continue to develop
construction systems using concrete masonry units. Concrete masonry is described
as the perfect building material. The rich heritage of its components;
limestone, and graded aggregates, work in harmony to provide the epitome of
ideals for enduring quality. This combination if formed, molded and finished to
the imagination of professional designers and artisans of the construction
industry. The current technology of admixtures and specific cements make
concrete more than a product which continues to harden with time, but adds
limitless design flexibility and aesthetics.
A careful consideration of construction alternatives where
life cycle costs and maintenance costs are weighted with initial cost heavily
favors the growth of concrete masonry. The future is bright for this versatile
product and limited only by the imagination of those who design and build our
environment and landscape of tomorrow.
Our plant has been modernized and was the worlds first fully
automated facility with a 24-hour capacity of 68,000 8" block and a first in
first out aggregate inventory system. We use computerized batching control of
formula cements and aggregates and complete machine forming and handling. Low
pressure steam curing and finish packaging, with banded cubes of product leaving
the plant on a roller conveyor all help with our trademark quality.
Buehner Block Company is committed to serving the building
industry with integrity and constantly providing quality products.
