In 1979, Erik Garfinkel started Palo Alto Concrete & Construction. By working closely with customers to understand their needs, the company grew to play a role in building thousands of concrete structures. In 1997, he developed a new hollow block wall (CMU) system that provided exceptional strength and ease of installation. Erik partnered with John MacMillan nearly ten years ago, with their investing millions into R&D getting the product ready to bring to market. The product caught on rapidly in Nevada and California, where more than 800,000 square feet were used in the construction of retail buildings, casinos, commercial buildings, industrial warehouses, sound walls, school gymnasiums and churches. For more than four decades, the leaders of SpeedBlock have worked closely with corporate site managers, owners, builders and contractors. Over the years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to building a company based on a firm understanding of what matters most to them.
