CONSOLIDATED MINERALS, INC.
LEESBURG, FLORIDA

Consolidated Minerals, Inc., founded in Florida by the remarkable WWII WWII hero, F. Browne Gregg, is a story of innovation and growth. Gregg earned his Silver Star during crucial World War II combat over Germany in 1945, but that was just the beginning of his impactful journey. In 1971, he acquired a company specializing in aggregates, laying down the foundation for what would become CMI. Fast forward to today, Consolidated Minerals is much more than a mining enterprise. The company has made significant strides in innovation, evidenced by their construction of the groundbreaking first integrated facility blending cement production with power generation and lime plants. This visionary project not only pushed boundaries but also emphasized sustainability through using waste materials and saving energy. In 1987, CMI diversified its operations by expanding into phosphate mining and animal feed supplements. While it sold most of its original crushed stone operations in Florida to CSR America in 2000, Gregg used his experience and resources to merge the remaining ventures, creating the Consolidated Minerals we know today. This company has continued to flourish since then. CMI’s product offerings through CL Industries are noteworthy. They lead the U.S. market as the top producer of exposed aggregate pool finishes-a testament to their commitment to quality. Moreover, their range extends into deck coatings and various building materials catering to both commercial entities and homeowners alike. This company's drive for innovation is matched by its environmental stewardship, earning it accolades such as Ernst & Young’s Florida Entrepreneur of the Year in 1995. Under current leadership, with figures like Randy Simpson at the helm and Shane Williams overseeing finances, CMI upholds its founding principles with dedication to excellence and community. Headquartered out of Lee'sburg, FL, the company sustains a robust infrastructure that facilitates seamless operations across multiple contact lines.
