"The National Weather Center notes that it has been five years since a major hurricane has struck Florida (Wilma, 2005). The proven record of concrete masonry in withstanding hurricane force winds is well known and well documented, yet there is a likelihood that less durable materials could be used in future construction in our state."

-Barry Zimmerman, President  Cement Products & Supply Co., Inc.  Lakeland, FL
"Concrete masonry units consistently offer long term lifecycle cost advantages. Units are sustainable, locally produced, environmentally sound and resistant to mold. Our products easily meet the most stringent of codes.

In essence, they provide long lasting durability and safety for our homes, schools and workplaces."
