On the Upswing U.S. Concrete's growth shows that, even in a down market, its fortunes are on the rise. by Therese Dunphy, Editor-in-Chief 14 J ust over a year ago, I got a phone call from Bill Sandbrook, president and CEO of Euless, Texas-based U.S. Concrete.

On the day of our interview, one day before Sandbrook marked his second anniversary with the company, the stock price was at $18.95. Read on to learn how Sandbrook worked with the U.S. Concrete team to achieve the nearly three-fold growth. AGGREGATES MANAGER October 2013 CompanyProfile_AGRM1013.indd 14 9/19/13 9:36 AM
