Division Profile
The Midsouth Division operates over 40 facilities in Tennessee, Kentucky and southwest Virginia. Employing approximately 800 people, the Midsouth Division operates over 40 limestone quarries, four of which are underground facilities.

The roots of the Midsouth Division can be traced to the beginning of the 20th Century when John Lambert, Sr., opened a portable crushing operation in Maryville, Tennessee. In the mid-1930s, five of John Sr.’s sons formed Lambert Brothers Inc., which soon became America’s largest quarrying operation. In 1957, Vulcan acquired Lambert Brothers Inc.

Today, the Midsouth Division strives to be the standard setter with regard to the quality of its products, services and technical support. Since our products are consumed locally to build and develop communities, we make a special effort to be involved in and support the communities where we operate.

This commitment goes beyond just being a good neighbor. For example, we have forged long term Adopt-A-School business and education partnerships at the majority of our facilities. Other community support includes charitable contributions, support for teachers and schools, sponsorship of local charitable causes, and donations of our products and time through active employee volunteerism. Finally, we are committed to plant beautification and are proud that over 70 percent of our quarries have received the “Showplace Award” from the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association for plant beautification efforts.

From customer satisfaction to community involvement and support, we look forward to continued participation in the growth and success of the businesses and communities we serve.

We operate our facilities in a socially responsible manner. Visit our Social Responsibility page to learn more about our commitment to the environment, our employees, and the communities we serve. Additionally, Vulcan Materials Company Foundation supports many public and charitable projects such as working with schools, supporting environmental stewardship and encouraging employee involvement in the communities where we have operations.
