About the company
Levy supplies construction materials and runs services for steel mills, turning industrial byproducts and mined stone into products used in roads, buildings and other infrastructure. Its operations link slag processing, which recovers useful materials from steelmaking waste, with aggregate mining and the manufacture of asphalt, concrete and cement alternatives. Customers buy its materials and hire its mill teams to process scrap, operate and maintain mobile equipment, and handle slag; jointly held businesses extend the group into ready-mix concrete and cement substitutes. The Levy Group of Companies began in 1918 and is headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan.
