Ozinga Wins Two Concrete Design Awards from Wisconsin Ready Mixed Concrete Association

Ozinga, a fourth-generation family-owned American concrete company, was honored with two awards at the Wisconsin Ready Mixed Concrete Association (WRMCA) 35th Annual Concrete Design Awards.

The awards highlight the best use of ready mix concrete in Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, focusing on the following categories: Agricultural, Commercial, Decorative, Education, Healthcare, and Public, ICF, Industrial, Facility, Municipal Infrastructure, Other, Parking Lot, Tilt-Up and regional projects.

Ozinga was awarded the Merit Commercial and Merit Industrial awards for their work on The Corners of Brookfield and the Uline 16 Branch Warehouse and Office respectively.

The Corners of Brookfield is a 750,000-square-foot multi-use development, which consists of a cast-in-place parking structure, 244 luxury apartment houses, and a mix of retail and restaurants. A total of 51,000 cubic yards of concrete was used on the project.

The Uline 16 Branch Warehouse and Office is an 850,000-square-foot warehouse in Kenosha County that used a grand total of 38,000 cubic yards of concrete placed over a six-month period.

The award ceremony took place in mid-January at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells. Justin Kratochvil, Jason Johnson, Felicia Nelson, Mark Fidder, Curt Landish and Mike Fiorita accepted the awards on Ozinga’s behalf.

"We are all very proud to be able to supply the concrete on ‘The Corners’ and on Uline’s newest project,” said Ritch Dembinsky, executive vice president of Ozinga’s northern operations. “It gives our team even greater pride to have these projects acknowledged by our peers as the top projects in the state of Wisconsin for 2016. Congratulations to the entire Wisconsin team on the hard work they put in to help in the success of these projects."

Ozinga has been a part of the WRMCA for two years. In 2015, the concrete company took home the Commercial Category Award for the Uline Distribution Center.
