Terminal Ready-Mix:
Our Story

Family Operated Since 1954

Terminal Ready-Mix is proud to be an American-owned, third-generation family business serving our community and the state of Ohio.

We started as a small roadside improvement company in 1936. Since then, we’ve grown into one of the premier ready-mix and concrete construction companies in the area. Today, we’re providing high-quality concrete to our customers for anything from new construction to repair work.

Falbo Park

On April 16, 1953, Sam Falbo, donated Falbo Park to the community, and our family was proud to assist with its renovation in 2019.

The community invested more than $200,000 in the revitalization project, which led to the creation of the first inclusive playground in the City of Lorain. The park now features equipment that can be enjoyed by children of all physical, mental and emotional abilities.

New sidewalks, a water line to supply a new hydration station and storm sewers for drainage were also installed in the 3.84-acre park. And to make the park more accessible to the entire community, a large concrete parking lot and bike racks were also added.

But the park’s most notable feature might be the entrance. Our grandfather purchased an excavator from the Thew Shovel Company in Lorain, which we disassembled, sandblasted, painted and outfitted with a stainless steel sign that serves as the gateway to the park at 925 Meister Road.

We’d also like to thank the following organizations for their support and their donations:

  • The City of Lorain donated a majority of the playground equipment, waterline installation, safe surface funding and 
    many hours of hard work and dedication to the improvements
  • Lorain County Public Health 
    Hydration station
  • Gross Plumbing
    Labor to install the hydration station
  • Lorain Rotary Club
    Three swing sets
  • Lorain Lions Club
    Conga music set
  • Lorain Rising Titans
    Two park benches
  • Corrigan Krause Accountants
    Safe surface funding
  • AARP
    Adult swing, shade trellis and canopy
Without their partnership, the Falbo Park improvement project would not have been possible.

Our company and family have been in Lorain for over 65 years. We understand that a successful business only benefits from a strong community. We’re fortunate and privileged that we can donate our time, money and resources to local community programs. They include:
