Modern concrete structure

About AgriCrete

Our journey in revolutionizing concrete solutions began in the 1990s, leading to groundbreaking innovations in concrete treatment technology.

Our History

The “AgriCrete” journey started when over 20 years ago, a contractor whose business was saw-cutting dairy parlours, saw our products (under a different brand name) being used on a huge 100 x 300 foot bunker silo on a Hutterite farm in Alberta, Canada.

Once he understood what benefits our products imparted to concrete, we discussed how they would greatly help his customers if after he saw-cut the dairy parlours, he treated them with our 2-product concrete protection system.

During our discussions he asked us if we could package our products under a different brand name. At the time our products were available through farming products retailers under the DynaCrete brand. He said, if the pails I have on site show your brand, they’ll buy the products from the retailer rather than have us supply and install them.

I told him I could do that. I trademarked the brand AgriCrete, and purchased the AgriCrete.com website.

While we have supplied products under our DynaCrete brand for almost 30 years, we have only been supplying AgriCrete branded products to this one contractor in Canada for about 15 years.

We were attending this years National Ag Show in Woodstock, Ontario this last September. We were in the booth of Farmers Depot, our Canadian farming products distributor.

It was there that we met Graham Crown from Agri Incinerator Systems, who had recently decided to start distribution of their Agri Incinerator Systems through Farmers Depot.

Including, how they have distribution of their incineration systems in the US and Europe, and how they are looking to expand their product range and our concrete treatment systems looked very interesting. I mentioned how we had been supplying them to farmers in Canada for over 25 years under a different brand name, but, by coincidence, I own the trademark “AgriCrete” and the website “AgriCrete.com”.

We decided we would look at introducing our products, under the AgriCrete brand to the distributors of Agri Incinerator Systems, starting with introducing them in January 2025 at the Pork Producers Show in Des Moines, Iowa.
