DuBrook Inc

1952 saw growth into DuBois with a concrete plant, four trucks and another building supply store on Hoover Avenue. The company name was changed to DuBrook, incorporating both Brookville and DuBois. Seeing opportunity in the Butler area, a plant was set up on North Main St in Butler in 1958. DuBrook later purchased John Tack & Sons on Bantam Ave, and is still located there today. Around 1970, DuBrook purchased the ready mix operation from Kohlhepps, and moved their plant to the Parkway Drive location in DuBois.Jack and his sons were to a convention in Houston, TX in the mid 70s and impressed with the building boom. In 1976, they began operations in Spring, TX. This operation eventually grew to three locations and 56 trucks. Unfortunately, a hard decision was made to shut it down in 1985 due to a major downturn in the Texas market. Another booming area was discovered to relocate the assets, and in 1987, DuBrook Concrete was operating in Chantilly, VA. This operation grew into a two alley plant, with over 30 trucks. A new division of DuBrook - Concrete Precast Systems, was formed in 1993. They acquired a patent on absorptive sound walls and set up operations in Chesapeake, VA and later in Chantilly, VA.Jack semi-retired in 1993, with three of his children taking over the operations. The following year, DuBrook purchased Thomson & Montgomery Ready Mix in St Marys, PA. In 2004, the siblings split the operations among them. Paul Ogorchock took over the Chesapeake operation of Concrete Precast Systems, Inc., later changing the focus and name to Coastal Precast Systems, Inc. as they progressed into prestressed beams. Tom Ogorchock stayed in Chantilly, VA with DuBrook Concrete, Inc.s ready mix operation, which he recently sold to US Concrete. Rosemary Ogorchock Barber remained in PA operating four plants in DuBois, St Marys, Butler and Evans City. Sadly, Jack passed away March 17, 2012 at the age of 87.
