Since 1938
A Bethlehem name that still batches its own.
Established in 1938, Casilio Concrete is a fourth-generation family owned and operated business serving Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Frank Casilio started as a concrete contractor in Bethlehem. He bought a 1938 Ford with a Concrete Transport 1.5-yard open-top mixer so he could haul his own mud. Ready-mixed by truck, the company grew from contracting and on-site mixing into a delivery business.
Batch plants now sit in Bethlehem, Allentown, and Nazareth, with the Valley — including Kutztown — inside a 20-plus mile radius. More than 30 rear-load and front-load trucks. Customers from individual homeowners to large industrial and highway work.
Crushcrete, the concrete recycling and crushed-stone yard off I-78 in Hellertown, is run by Maria’s son, Tony Medei. The apple does not fall far from the family tree.

Throughout the generations, delivering quality products and service has remained the top priority.
Casilio quality
Authenticity is the product.
As the third and fourth generations work together, the tradition of an impeccable product and an incomparable work ethic stays intact — with a fresher face and an even sharper sense of service.
The number one priority has always been the customer. Loyal work since 1938 built a knowledge that goes well past “just ready-mix.”
We can guarantee our product, service, and professionalism will leave you satisfied — and, more importantly, stress free.
