Our History
History
Limestone Products, Inc. sits on deposits that have been mined in the Newberry area for roughly a century. Commercial extraction around Newberry began in the early 1900s, when miners first worked phosphate and limestone-bearing sediments northeast of town, laying the groundwork for today’s limerock industry.
In 1982, the Cates and Broome family purchased the Newberry operation and began modernizing and expanding production. The company was formally incorporated in Florida on April 10, 1985, and has remained active under family leadership ever since.
Over the decades, Limestone Products, Inc. has grown to control more than 1,000 acres of mineable limestone across multiple sites, supplying North Florida with quality limerock road base and aggregates.
Most recently, the City of Newberry approved entitlements to support the continuity of local limerock supply as existing reserves wind down, reflecting the community’s long relationship with responsible limestone mining.
