Cretex Companies

Cretex is a diversified family of manufacturing companies serving four distinct markets: Medical, Aerospace & Defense, Infrastructure, and Industrial. Our companies share a common set of values, a common management system, and a pervasive focus on quality, customer service and responsiveness. We’ve been around for nearly 100 years. By doing the right things well, we plan to be around for many more.

In 1917, L.D. Bailey and D.W. Longfellow envisioned the need for a comprehensive, reliable transportation system as the foundation for economic development. From this vision, Cretex Companies, Inc. was born with the mission to supply quality concrete drainage products to advance the expanding infrastructure needs of a growing nation.

Over the last 15 years, new technologies and strategic acquisitions have given us the unique ability to offer a true single source manufacturing solution for the medical companies we serve. As a customer, that means you can count on the highest possible quality, speed and innovation to match your changing needs. The ideals of our founders continue to drive how we manage our companies. In every industry we serve, we help our customers find the best way forward. Our unwavering spirit of innovation combined with the deep financial resources necessary to invest in leading-edge technologies and people, give you a distinct competitive advantage in today’s global markets.
