For over a century, Dolese Bros. Co. has provided the construction materials for our communities to build a better world around us.

Founded by four brothers - William, John, Henry and Peter - the company originally focused on the construction of streets, sewer facilities, and other public projects in and near Chicago.

William soon decided to leave the company in the sole ownership of his three younger brothers. They changed the business of the company from contracting to operating railroad-owned ballast plants and quarries in various locations along the main lines in Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.

Prior to Oklahoma’s statehood in 1907, Dolese Bros. Co. was already operating several quarries in the territory, as well as in Colorado and Iowa. As Oklahoma was settled, Dolese provided the many thousands of tons of crushed stone and sand that were needed to construct the young state’s roads.

As the state's settlements and communities grew into towns and cities, Dolese's business expanded. In 1927 the company entered the ready-mixed concrete business.

Roger M. Dolese, Peter’s son, joined the company in 1940 and led Dolese through many years of growth and development until his death in late 2002. Thanks to his vision and leadership, the company today includes:

Over 35 ready-mixed concrete plants in Oklahoma and seven in Louisiana. Over 300 concrete mixer trucks providing ready-mixed concrete daily in a two-state region. Over 15 facilities providing crushed stone, sand and gravel materials to the construction industry. Two concrete block manufacturing plants that furnish a wide range of concrete blocks, pavers, and landscaping products to three locations, where other masonry products are also available.

The company is headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
