In the ever-changing Texas construction market, there are few businesses that have made as much of an impact as McCar Companies.
Positioning itself as a leader in the construction materials industry, McCar is committed to quality, innovation and sustainability. With a reach that extends across major cities such as Austin and Houston, as well as the rural plains of West Texas, McCar’s influence can be found in roads, bridges, buildings and more.
A legacy of excellence
Starting as a modest family operation, McCar Companies had one straightforward goal in mind: to provide builders and contractors throughout Texas with high-quality materials needed to build their communities. Since then, McCar has grown its business by investing in machinery to keep up with evolving demands, further expanding its product offerings.
Today, the company is known for its diverse product range, including utility stone, road base, flex base, concrete sand and specialty materials – all coming from its rich limestone quarry. Utilizing equipment supplied by Powerscreen Texas, McCar has become a trusted partner for projects of all sizes while handling materials of all sizes.
Sustainability commitment
In an industry where companies are increasingly focused on environmental impacts, McCar has taken steps to prioritize sustainability in its business. This commitment is evident throughout its operations, from sourcing raw materials to its crushing and screening process.
At the main production area of McCar’s location in Georgetown, Texas, the company operates a 1600 Eagle Crusher plant, which feeds into a Cedarapids LJ-TSV horizontal screener, then into a Powerscreen Warrior 1800 and, finally, into a Powerscreen Chieftain 2100X. All materials are transported throughout the operation via MGL Engineering conveyors.
Capitalizing on the electric-powered Cedarapids LJ-TSV, McCar has exponentially minimized its carbon footprint. The company will soon phase out all diesel-powered machines and transition to fully electric-powered machines supplied by Powerscreen Texas.
Putting people first
McCar Companies’ relationship with Powerscreen Texas began on the show floor of ConExpo-Con/Agg 2020. Peter Nunez, president and CEO of McCar Companies, visited the Powerscreen Texas booth and sat down with the company’s president, Sam McNabb.
After gathering as much information as possible about various Powerscreen machines and the crushing and screening industry, McNabb returned to Texas to meet with the dealer and review production and expansion goals. Powerscreen Texas educated, equipped and trained McCar’s staff on all things crushing and screening, helping the McCar team quickly evolve into the company it is today.
With innovation at the forefront of its operations, the company remains deeply committed to its people. Nunez and the leadership team at McCar Companies understand that their success is driven by the hard work and dedication of their employees. As such, they have cultivated a company culture that values teamwork, safety and professional growth.
“We are here to serve our surrounding community, in both residential and commercial sectors,” Nunez says. “With the adjustability of the machines that we’ve purchased from Powerscreen Texas, we are able to meet the demands from our customers to customize final products for their needs that we weren’t previously able to produce.”
Strategic partners
Since first working with Powerscreen Texas in 2020, McCar Companies has seen tremendous growth. The company has relied on Powerscreen Texas to keep it outfitted with the necessary equipment to meet buyer demands.
“We would not be where we are today if it weren’t for our relationship with Powerscreen Texas,” says Cory Farris, COO of McCar Companies. “They are not just a supplier of our machines; they truly are partners with us in business. They are experts in what they do, and we tend to be very successful when we take their advice in mining and crushing.”
As McCar Companies looks to the future, its vision is clear: to continue leading the way in the construction materials industry while prioritizing sustainability, innovation and customer satisfaction.
The company plans to expand its product offerings, explore new markets and further invest in research and development to stay ahead of industry trends.
Moreover, McCar Companies is committed to playing a role in the development of Texas. As the state’s population and economy continue to exponentially grow, demand for high-quality construction materials is expected to increase.
Utilizing the equipment and training supplied by Powerscreen Texas, McCar Companies is positioned to meet this demand, ensuring Texas’s infrastructure remains strong and resilient for generations to come.
