Company History

Contractors Materials Company (CMC) was established in 1907 by William H. Luken, Sr. The company's first products were granite paving stones and curbs. Since that time, CMC has expanded both in product mix and markets served. Today, they are a fabricator of rebar and a distributor of a complete line of related products for commercial, industrial and highway concrete construction markets. These products are equally suited for the cast-in-place, precast, and repair and restoration markets.

MMI of Kentucky (MMI) was established in 1989 in Lexington, Kentucky. MMI was created to serve the Central Kentucky concrete construction market with similar products and services as CMC had provided to its customers in Ohio. Although dissimilar in names, the two sister companies share common ownership and operating philosophies.

Both companies operate out of new, modern facilities and pride themselves in the core of dedicated and experienced personnel that provide energy and synergy to their business each day. CMC and MMI both utilize the latest in equipment technology for rebar fabrication that provides increased productivity, accuracy, flexibility and safety for its operators. Both companies also operate with a fleet of Penske leased delivery trucks that are well maintained and dependable.

CMC and MMI personnel take pride in their individual and collective contribution to their communities' growth and prosperity, and look forward to providing continued service to its base of loyal customers.

In 1999, CMC became the first US rebar Fabricator to fabricate all #3, 4 and 5 rebar out of coil. The MEP Mini Syntax at CMC offers expanded capabillities of #3, 4, and 5 rebar.

The MEP Concept 91 straightens and bends MMI #3, 4, and 5 rebar.

The use of these machines has proven more productive than conventional ways of fabricating rebar, provides more flexibility in scheduling, are more accurate, and are safer for machine operators.

CMC's KRB Straight and Cut machine is used to fabricate cuts of #3, 4, and 5 rebar from coil. This high-speed machine compliments CMC's MEP Mini Syntax for maximum productivity and flexible scheduling.


CMC has a number of threaders to provide cut NC thread for dowel bar replacement, as well as various systems for mechanical compression and tension splicing.
