H&K Group, Inc. (H&K) is proud to announce that it has shipped over 1 million tons of aggregate from our Birdsboro Quarry facility in Berks County, PA to our Dagsboro Stone Depot facility in Sussex County, DE! This is the second time in H&K’s history where 1 million tons of aggregate had been shipped to Dagsboro Stone Depot, illustrating what a considerable feat this achievement is. With hunger and anticipation for 2025, H&K plans to exceed that number in the coming production season. We would love to thank all those at H&K, whether on the ground, in machines or behind the scenes that made this happen. It was truly a team effort.
A big thanks to our esteemed partners who each played a huge role in assisting with this accomplishment:
• Norfolk Southern Corp. and Delmarva Central Railroad for their commitment to increasing service levels and facilitating the shipment of more carloads.
• GATX Corporation for providing us with the high quality, large-capacity 115-ton open top hoppers that helped us meet shipping goals.
• First Response Rail Service for maintaining our rail fleet throughout the year. Their expertise and reliability has been instrumental in ensuring that H&K’s rail assets are in the best shape possible. This allows us to focus on operations without worrying about downtime or any unexpected issues.
