Quarry Faces: July 2022

The 2022 Pit & Quarry Roundtable & Conference took place June 7-8 at Chateau Elan outside of Atlanta. About 80 people, including representatives from aggregate producers, manufacturers, dealers and associations, attended the event.

During the Roundtable discussions, attendees addressed the state of the industry, equipment and technology trends and more. While stakeholders seem to agree that aggregate demand is high, headwinds such as inflation, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages continue to present challenges.
