An American Tradition... FLEMING is a classic American success story. Canadian born T. Harry Fleming emigrated to the United States after graduating from college and entered the concrete business in St. Louis Missouri, in the early 1940's. He learned the trade quickly and, full of innovative ideas for improvement, founded the Concrete Transport Mixer Co. in 1943, where he began manufacturing the renowned "Rocket Mixer" ready-mix concrete units for trucks. By 1946, Harry was ready to broaden the scope of his operations, and FLEMING MANUFACTURING CO. was established. The firm's initial product was the FLEMING-100, a small, hand-operated, turn-over machine, and the first of many ingenious technological solutions FLEMING would pioneer. When the post World War II construction boom resulted in burgeoning demand for concrete building blocks. FLEMING headquarters moved to Cuba, Missouri, in 1951, to increase plant size and capacity. In the late 1960's, Harry's son Merle took the helm of the business and, once again, demonstrated the firm's responsiveness to changing market demand. Under Merle's leadership, FLEMING became the world's foremost concrete specialists - developing and manufacturing state-of-the-art equipment for the production of all types of construction, landscape, and specialty components. In the mid 1980's the management reins went to the family's third generation, William M. Fleming. Visionary driection has led FLEMING beyond the United States to Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific Rim. In late 2000 FLEMING was acquired by Eagle Building Technologies. Their outreach in the international markets has assisted FLEMING in surpassing previous foreign market sales two fold. The acquisition has not affected our excellent customer service or day-to-day business. With the current changes in leadership, and the dedication of many long-term employees, FLEMING's future will continue with a pledge of consistency, of pride and dedication to quality unparalleled in the industry for FLEMING clients and employees.
