Peckham Industries expands in Northeast

Peckham Industries acquired E. Tetz & Sons and its subsidiary, Tetz Asphalt.

Tetz is an aggregate, ready-mixed concrete and hot-mix asphalt producer in Middletown, New York. Tetz employs more than 130 people.

“This acquisition allows us to further integrate and grow our presence in the lower Hudson Valley region of New York – one of the most rapidly growing parts of the state,” says Damian Murphy, president of Peckham Industries. “We recognize the prominent history of Tetz and the significant contribution the business has made to the region.

Gary Tetz Sr., president of Tetz, is excited about the road ahead for the companies.

“Peckham believes that our ‘family by choice’ culture delivers value as the trusted supplier of construction materials, products and services in the communities that we serve,” says Tetz, whose company has operated in the construction materials industry since 1956. “We are excited to bring that value to customers in Orange County and the surrounding region.”

Peckham Industries, a family-operated company entering its 100th year, now employs nearly 1,200 people at more than 30 facilities in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont. Peckham and its family of companies provide road construction materials and road construction services, including hot asphalt, liquid asphalt, asphalt emulsion, stone and aggregates, concrete and liquid calcium chloride, as well as precast structural concrete components for large-scale construction projects throughout the Northeast.
