All-purpose Refractory Gun History

Blastcrete Equipment, LLC History

Rooted in Refractory

  • All-purpose Refractory Gun
  • We are an American owned business based in Anniston, Alabama. Our roots date back to Los Angeles in 1950 and since then we’ve continued to evolve as the premier shotcrete equipment manufacturer serving customers worldwide.
  • In 2006, we moved to our current facility, a 70,000 square-foot building on 13 acres in Anniston. In 2007, a 1,600-square-foot research, development and training facility was added to the manufacturing building. Neal Manufacturing, a manufacturer of asphalt pavement maintenance equipment, partnered with us in 2013 and operates as a division of Blastcrete.

    Under the leadership of Jim Farrell from 1983 to 2017, we built a solid foundation on which to expand our company and product line. In 2017, we partnered with Druid Capital Partners headquartered in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Druid Capital is a reliable, trusted and local source of equity capital for our future growth and expansion.
