Longfellow founded the Cretex Companies, Inc. Our nation was migrating from a rural to an urban society, demanding the development of a sturdy, reliable infrastructure to meet the needs of the expanding urban populations. Cretex, led by the vision of its founders, filled the need by supplying quality concrete pipe products, enabling the growth of Minnesota communities. Over the decades, Cretex has evolved, survived and thrived by anticipating customer needs and responding with exceptional customer service. Throughout change, one constant remains within Cretex the founders' vision to supply the highest quality product to our customers. Today, Cretex is a national family of companies built upon this firm foundation. Cretex supplies world markets with products ranging from heart pacemaker components to prestressed concrete bridge beams. The results of this diversification? A strong, financially stable corporation with abilities to meet the needs of a variety of customers. Our vision extends into the 21st century. With sales well into nine figures and a strong balance sheet, Cretex combines the essential ingredients of financial strength with the skills and talents of employees not to just meet, but exceed our customers' needs, today and tomorrow.
