100% Employee Owned. Built for Generations.
From four generations of family ownership to a future built by employee owners, Maddux & Sons is carrying forward a legacy of hard work, shared success and opportunity through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
Built on Ownership.
100% Employee Owned. Generations in the Making.
For 80 years, Maddux & Sons has been built by hardworking people who take pride in what they do. What began as a family business in Douglas, Arizona, has grown into a trusted name in concrete, aggregate and hauling throughout the Southwest.
In 2026, that legacy entered a new chapter when Maddux & Sons became part of Blue Diamond Legacy Holdings and transitioned to 100% employee ownership.
Today, the people behind our work have a stake in the future of our company. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), eligible employees have the opportunity to build long-term retirement wealth while contributing to the success of a company generations in the making.
The ownership has changed. The standard hasn't.
When You Own the Work, Everything Changes.
Employee Ownership That Builds a Stronger Future
An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is more than a retirement benefit. It's an opportunity for employees to share in the long-term success of the company they help build every day.
Through our ESOP, eligible employees receive company ownership benefits at no cost to them. As the company grows and succeeds, the value of their retirement benefit has the potential to grow alongside it.
But employee ownership goes beyond financial benefits.
It means taking pride in every load delivered, every yard of concrete poured and every customer relationship built. It means looking out for one another, working safely and making decisions that strengthen our company for the long haul.
At Maddux & Sons, ownership isn't just about having a stake in the business. It's about taking responsibility for the future we're building together.
WHY EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP MATTERS
GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY
When you have a stake in the company, the quality of your work matters. Our employee owners take responsibility for doing the job right and standing behind what they deliver.
A STRONGER CULTURE
Ownership brings people together around a shared goal. From our drivers and equipment operators to our office and support teams, every role contributes to our success.
LONG-TERM THINKING
We're not just focused on today's job. We're building a company that will continue serving our communities for generations to come.
SHARED SUCCESS
Through our ESOP, eligible employees have the opportunity to build retirement wealth tied to the long-term performance of the company.
A Legacy Worth Carrying Forward.
FROM FAMILY OWNERSHIP TO EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP.
For four generations, the Maddux family built a legacy of hard work, dependable service and lasting relationships. In February 2026, brothers Clint and Jimmy Maddux passed that legacy to Blue Diamond Legacy Holdings, preserving the Maddux name while creating a new future of shared ownership for the people who carry it forward.
"My brother and I pass on Maddux and Sons from our family to yours."
— Clinton R. "Clint" Maddux, Former Owner and President
