New markets to the north

Team Elmer's is excited to announce that we are now poised to serve you even better in the Petoskey, Charlevoix and Gaylord markets! The company recently purchased Drenth Brothers, Inc. of Ellsworth, Mich.

Drenth Brothers has been a leading provider of sand, gravel, and stone in Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego Counties for more than six decades.

Drenth Brothers owns and operates an office and gravel operation in Ellsworth. Ten employees currently work for the company. The Drenth name, brand, and operations will be transitioning to Team Elmer’s over the next several weeks.

Commenting on the announcement, Troy Broad said, “This is a great opportunity for us to partner with a long-respected company, and also to expand our footprint in the Petoskey, Charlevoix and Gaylord markets. It’s an exciting time to be expanding.”

Broad added that the acquisition will also provide Team Elmer’s an excellent local source for aggregate.

Steve Drenth, a second-generation owner, added, “We’re delighted with this combination. We’ve admired Team Elmer’s from afar, and look forward to helping them grow and expand throughout the region. Fortunately our cultures are very similar because we are both longtime, family-owned businesses.”

Drenth Brothers, Inc. was started in 1948 by Gerrit, George, Harvey and John Drenth. The company has been involved in manufacturing concrete products, excavating, building construction, sand and gravel production and wood pallets over the years. In recent years, the company has concentrated on production and delivery of a large variety of sand and gravel products along with excavating and general trucking.
