COMPANY OVERVIEW

Drive around Indianapolis and Sarge quickly begins to note the projects his team has helped supply – the Indianapolis
International Airport, Lucas Oil Stadium, the Downtown Indianapolis Convention Center, and ongoing work on I-69.

Spend enough time with Sarge and it’s likely that his other
nickname will come out eventually. On a July morning while
overseeing a photo shoot at Belmont Sand, Sarge was
approached by a gentleman from the Indiana Department of
Environmental Management.

“Am I still the nicest plant manager you’ll ever meet?” Sarge
asks with a smile beaming from ear to ear. With a nod given
without hesitation, the answer is shot back quickly: “Yep!”
He may be a respected leader and experienced miner who
always puts the well-being of his friends and co-workers
first, but at the end of the day, that’s all Sarge really hopes
to be: “the nicest plant manager you’ll ever meet.”

Later, when he walks into his office, Sarge points to photos
of his wife, his children and grandchildren, and his friends.
He tells stories about the people he loves and the times
they’ve had together. Then, he pauses a moment before
saying that these are the people who have shaped him.
“This award wouldn’t be possible without my team, and it
belongs to them as well. I wouldn’t be who I am or where I
am, without every one of these people,” he says. “I’ve been
blessed with meeting so many people from every facet of
life. If there is one thing that has made me into who I am
today, it’s these relationships.”

Not only were we recognized for our performance in our core
values of safety, stewardship and community, but in 2021,
Martin Marietta’s financial performance was also recognized on
the Fortune 1000 listing and on Forbes’ Global 2000 World’s
Largest Public Companies. Our disciplined and significant growth,
plus key financial metrics, including sales, assets and market
capitalization, landed us on these impressive lists.
In addition, we seek to include a diverse group of directors on our
Board to provide different perspectives to the Board’s oversight
responsibilities. Our Board demonstrates diversity in the form of
experience, geography, gender, ethnicity, age and tenure. We were
recognized in 2021, 2019, 2017 and 2015 at the Women’s Forum of
New York at its Biennial Breakfast of Corporate Champions for our
Board diversity. We were also recognized by 2020 Women on Boards
as a 3+ Company for championing Board diversity.
