HISTORY

Creter Concrete Products has a long history in the concrete and precast industry.

Five generations ago, in 1918, we started as Creter Vault in Irvington, New Jersey with Philip Creter at the helm. He brought his skills as a stonecutter and concrete mason to work, providing headstones and outer burial containers (masonry enclosures) to support collapsing graves in local cemeteries. 

Even as we’ve seen tremendous growth over the years, we have always been and will continue to be a family-owned operation. In the years following 2010, we opened Flemington Concrete Products, allowing us to supply concrete to the area and increase our buying power. We were able to expand manufacturing, which lead to acquiring more land/space. With the additional land/space, we opened our doors to recycling.

We were instrumental in developing the technology and manufacturing process to produce an innovative new product – Concrete Lumber. Concrete Lumber is a patented pre-stress reinforced cementitious composite that is strong, chemical-free, and low-maintenance. It’s an affordable alternative to wood, steel, composites, LVL, and glulam. That’s not where our creativity stops! We’ve also developed state-of-the-art precast concrete railroad crossings that add stability and can be quickly and easily maintained. 
Present Day Creter is a leader in concrete vaults, as well as lawn crypts and columbarium’s. We have over 45 acres and 69,000 square feet of manufacturing space and each year we produce more than 30,000 burial vaults, lawn crypts, and niches. Our extensive experience in precast concrete has led us to expand our precast business and services.  

We are now producing MagnumStone® big block retaining system, our own precast railroad crossing system, pole bases, generator pads and there are more to come. 

We’re the same trusted company with a new name – Creter Concrete Products.

Our Creter central office and NPCA (National Precast Concrete Association) certified manufacturing plant are both located in Flemington, New Jersey. 

We offer:
  • Precast products.
  • Aggregates.
  • Redi-mix concrete.
In addition, we’re a certified Class-B recycling facility for concrete, brick, and block. 

Our state-of-the-art facilities are the most modern in Western NJ and include a system that collects the dust from cement, sand, and stone. This innovative procedure also recycles both leftover concrete and the washed-out material and water that comes from cleaning the delivery trucks. It all goes right back into making more concrete!
