Tephracor is excited to announce significant advancements to its operations, including the contracting of two quarry operations and progress on a third.

Tephracor’s East Coast and Northwest quarry operations are now fully contracted and Tephracor is also in the advanced stages of securing a partnership with a quarry in the West. These locations have been selected based on Tephracor’s stringent criteria ensuring the highest quality basaltic material and the ability to efficiently transport the material via rail in order to reduce the CO2 footprint. Each quarry plays a vital role in supplying the necessary basaltic material for TephraMax®, allowing us to meet the growing demand for sustainable soil amendments across various regions.
