Today MurrinCo is owned and run by Glenn and his brother Doug; their father Ray Murrin began his career in 1948 at age 17 trucking sand from their existing quarry. Ray sold sand that would be mixed with salt to the government for road control and safety.
“Over time, with our own quarry, we decided to take the sand and stone we already had and mix it with cement to form Ready Mix,” Glenn says. Although Ray has passed away, Doug, Glenn and the family are dedicated to carrying out his vision, and of course, his legacy.
As MurrinCo progressed, the company acquired more crushing equipment, mixing trucks and a facility large enough to house it all. The company makes all of its own aggregates at the South River quarry and imports it directly to the plant in Spaniards Bay. “We service and sell our product locally with our own mixer trucks,” Glenn says.As MurrinCo progressed, the company acquired more crushing equipment, mixing trucks and a facility large enough to house it all.
