Northfield Block, an Oldcastle company with locations throughout Illinois, has been in business since 1949. It has built a reputation on aesthetically pleasing and quality products. After Oldcastle acquired Northfield in 2002, the division began a new growth phase and now touts a total of 6 location sites with 12 production plants ranging from the manufacturing of architectural and landscaping products to the addition of secondary processing and decorative stone. In 2005, Northfield Block began construction of a big board plant on a “green-field site in Morris, IL designed to specialize in high-end landscape products. The management team required a curing system and curing chamber that would fit into their quality-driven approach of manufacturing value-added concrete products.
