   About The F & F Concrete Corporation
 


During the post-World War II building boom, Ralph A. Forgione and Jack Foley founded The F & F Concrete Corporation in 1953. Ralph and Jack had been in the Army together during and after World War II.

Through to the mid-1980s F & F Concrete not only supplied concrete but also maintained a concrete forming division, headed by Jack Foley. In 1984 Jack decided to retire and Ralph brought his son, David A. Forgione, into the management of the business. Shortly thereafter David was made President and he remains in that capacity today. In the mid-1980s F & F Concrete decided to concentrate on expanding its readi-mix production.

The concrete plant was originally located on Buckland Street in Plantsville, Connecticut while the garage was located nearby at 110 West Main Street. In 1989, F & F Concrete moved its production to a new Erie-Strayer concrete batching plant at its 110 West Main Street property.

Throughout its history F & F has updated its plant operations and fleet. Its batching operations are completely automated utilizing the Alkon Corporation's concrete batching system in coordination with computerized dispatching and billing software and a combination computerized and radio-contact truck tracking system.

The person who came up with the phrase "Ignorance is bliss" I'm sure had no idea how profound that statement would become. If my former partner John T. Foley and I, had any idea what we were getting into back on May 1st 1953, I'm sure there would not be any F&F Concrete Corp. today.
 
We perservered, worked hard, and dedicated ourselves to quality, timely deliveries, and competitive pricing.
 
Now my son David, who has been with the company the last thirty years is the new owner and dedicated to the same principles that have sustained the company since its' inception. My thanks to all.
