Heidelberg Materials North America Hosts Open House at Granville Island Facility in Vancouver, B.C.

Last month, Heidelberg Materials North America opened the doors of our Granville Island ready-mixed concrete facility in Vancouver, British Columbia, for a community open house. This year marks 104 years of operations at this location and the ongoing support of the community has been vital to our longevity and success in the area.

Hosting a community open house gives the public an opportunity for a behind the scenes look at the operations and a chance to learn about our business. For our team, it’s a chance to share their passion for our business and engage with our neighbors.

“Our company has a rich heritage at Granville Island,” said Dr. Oliver Patsch, President of Heidelberg Materials North America’s Northwest Region. “This open house is such a great opportunity for our team to connect with the community that helps to support our operations and a really reaffirms the benefits that come from being a good neighbor.”

Community members were welcomed through the gates for an exciting day that included plant tours, touch-a-truck stations and informational booths about our safety practices and sustainability efforts. There was a giant sand box, face painting and several hands-on activities for visitors of all ages. Visitors also had the opportunity to see our newly refreshed “ball machine” that shows the process for making ready-mixed concrete.

Heidelberg Materials North America would like to thank Arts Umbrella, Kryton International, Metro Vancouver Firefighters Band, and Softball City Canada Cup for their contributions to this year’s event. We look forward to commemorating 105 years at Granville Island next year and extend our appreciation to all those who were part of this year’s festivities and contributed to its success. Here’s to many more years of fostering community, collaboration and growth.
