About the company

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.
