Thelen Sand and Gravel has been a leading manufacturer of quality construction materials since 1947. We have always valued long standing relationships with our customers as well as the communities in which we reside. Starting with one location in Antioch, IL, Thelen Sand and Gravel has now grown to multiple locations throughout Northeastern Illinois and Southeastern Wisconsin while serving the aggregate and organics industries. As our founder, Vern Thelen adhered to in the beginning and what is still adhered to now, the Thelen philosophy is to remain “Small enough to know our customers and large enough to take care of their needs.”
