Every year, the concrete industry achieves remarkable milestones, and 2025 is no different. This year, the CFA celebrates four standout members who are marking significant anniversaries. These milestones highlight the commitment and contributions these companies have made to the concrete foundations sector and beyond.

55TH ANNIVERSARY

Bartley Corporation

SILVER SPRING, MD.

Founded in 1970 by Robert “Buck” Bartley, his wife Marcia and his brother Tom, the company began with a station wagon, a good idea and the support of a friendly backer. Over the decades, The Bartley Corporation has grown into a multi-million-dollar operation, setting the benchmark for residential and commercial concrete foundation construction in the Mid-Atlantic region. Thoughtful innovation and a commitment to organized diversity have been key to its success, fostering a talented workforce of approximately 190 full-time employees. Buck Bartley always emphasized that “our people are our most important resource.”

The Bartley Corporation has consistently invested in cut-ting-edge equipment, such as crane trucks, screed machines, gravel stone slinger trucks and fully equipped communication vehicles, to support its employees in performing high-quality, efficient work. The Bartley Corporation’s enduring commitment to its people, innovation and quality has solidified its position as a leader in the concrete construction industry.

60TH ANNIVERSARY

Perma-Structo, Inc.

STURTEVANT, WIS.

This year marks a major milestone for Perma-Structo as the company celebrates its 60th anniversary, a legacy deeply rooted in the vision of its founder, Erwin “Buck” Sweet. Buck established Perma-Structo in 1965, and within just a decade, he had not only built a thriving business but also contributed to shaping the broader concrete industry. Since his passing, Buck’s vision has been carried forward by his daughter and son-in-law, Patti and Mark, who have dedicated themselves to growing the company while staying true to its core values.

Today, the third generation—Cole Beaudin and his sisters, Cassie and Lindsy—work alongside their parents in the daily operations, continuing the family’s commitment to excellence in concrete construction. Although Cole never had the chance to work directly with his grandfather, he feels Buck’s influence in every aspect of the company and takes pride in following in his footsteps. As Perma-Structo celebrates 60 years, the Beaudin family reflects on the foundation Buck built—not just in concrete, but in the values of dedication, craftsmanship and family that continue to guide the company today.

70TH ANNIVERSARY

Western Forms, Inc.
