Michael Oremus and his family have been in the concrete business since 1948 founding Prairie Material with just three trucks, a load of stone, and a ton of ambition. Over the years, Prairie Material grew to be one of the largest family-owned and operated producers of ready-mix concrete in the Midwest with over 100+ locations and 1,200+ trucks. In 2007, just prior to the sale of Prairie Material, M
ichael headed west in pursuit of a dream. He began Oremus Material with a vision to bring the same quality products and superior service to the Tucson market. Over the years, Oremus Material has partnered with many contractors to bring about projects like the Twin Peaks Interchange, the Santa Cruz River Walk Path, the University of Arizona Residence Hall, ABC’s Extreme Home Makeover, the REI Building, Tucson's Modern Streetcar, The Level, and The Hub, just to mention a few.
