customers actually began over seventy-five years ago. In May of 1933, The Brewer Company

was founded by Pinckney P. Brewer as a company specializing in the construction of brick and

concrete pavements. Shortly thereafter our emphasis turned towards the asphalt manufacturing

and construction business and by 1937, The Brewer Company owned and operated three asphalt

plants in the Cincinnati area. These three plants afforded us the opportunity to gain expertise

and success within the industry. Between 1937 and 1987 we expanded to a total of eighteen

asphalt and gravel plants and related construction operations in and around Cincinnati, Ohio;

Miami, Florida; The U.S. Virgin Islands; and The Bahamas.

During that period, some other significant events took place within the Company. The Brewer

Cote Division, now called the Coatings Division, was formed in Cincinnati in 1953. This

division created work for the employees when the asphalt plants were not operating. We started

out bagging cold mix and filling five gallon pails of pre-mixed driveway sealer by hand. In

1972, we expanded this operation by manufacturing roof coatings and related products. Our

driveway sealer business continued to grow and it became essential to begin manufacturing our

own coal tar emulsion sealer. In 1977, we became a licensee of Engineering Industries, Inc. and

for the first time began to manufacture Brewer Cote coal tar emulsion pavement sealer.

In 1980, The Utility Construction Division was formed to provide various services to the Gas

Division of The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company and its subsidiaries, now Duke Energy.

This division continues to satisfy the changing demands of this important customer while adding

new customers like Dayton Power and Light, Oxford Gas, Westfield Gas and Columbia Gas.

In December of 1986, we made the decision to become more aggressive in the pavement sealer

and roof coating business and acquired The Jetcoat Corporation in Columbus, Ohio. This

acquisition and subsequent facility upgrades have enabled us to become a major factor in the

marketplace. As a result, the Coatings Division was strengthened for better market penetration

throughout the midwest region.

In March of 1987, the Asphalt Manufacturing and Highway Construction Divisions were sold to

Barrett Paving Materials. This sale allowed the Company to focus full attention on the Coatings

and Utility Construction Divisions.

In February of 1992, we acquired the roof coating and fabric production facilities of Koch

Materials Company in Wickliffe, Ohio, and Ocala, Florida. This acquisition enabled us to

further diversify our product line to include professional grade coatings, asphalt emulsion

coatings and saturated fabrics. As a result, the Coatings Division was able to enter new markets

and to expand our market area to include the entire eastern half of the United States.

In 1996, we made the decision to expand our bulk sealer manufacturing capabilities into the

Chicagoland area, and in May of 1998 we began manufacturing product from our new facility

located in LaSalle, Illinois.

Corporation in Chicago, Illinois. This acquisition allowed us to expand our midwestern supply

of pavement sealer products through distribution facilities at Bensenville and Markham, Illinois.

We also service pavement maintenance customers nationwide through our annual catalog and

website at www.asphaltstore.com.

In May of 2007, we sold our Retail Business Unit and our Columbus, Ohio facility to Thorworks

Industries. This sale allowed the Company to concentrate our focus on various contractor

oriented markets.

Now in our third generation, we are proud to be a major force in the market and to play a major

role in serving the needs of the Greater Cincinnati community through our Utility Construction

Division.

Looking toward the future, we expect to further expand in new and different locations. The

Brewer Company will continue to be a leader in the industry by continuing to satisfy customers

with Quality, Service and Value.
