Whibco of New Jersey, Inc. Company Information
Informations générales
Whibco, Inc. was founded in 1841 and is America’s first producer of sand for use in the metal casting industry.
Foundry sands were discovered in a Sayreville peach orchard by farmer Samuel Whitehead, who noticed that the naturally bonded sands on his farm were similar to the foundry sands being imported as ship ballast from England. Whitehead began selling the sands in the greater New York City market, and the foundry sand industry in America was thus born.
Today, Whibco produces a wide variety of industrial sands and fine construction aggregates. Industrial markets include foundries, grout, roof shingle manufacturing, recreational sands, fillers, and most recently hydraulic fracturing sands (or “proppants”) to service the rapidly expanding Marcellus shale natural gas exploration and mining. Construction markets include concrete sands, gravels, septic sand, fill, and numerous other grades used in road and infrastructure construction.
A successful mining company must have ample reserves of the quantity and quality of sands customers want, together with all of the governmental approvals to remove, process and sell the sands. This is where Whibco stands out among the competition.
Whibco owns about 12 thousand acres of land and reserves in Cumberland County, New Jersey, including mine permits on 7 different sites in Maurice River Township alone. Whibco operates an industrial and construction sand processing plant in Port Elizabeth (Maurice River Township). Two primary plants are in operation: One is fed by a dredge and the other by truck or wheel loader. This redundancy reduces risk and best assures an ample inventory of the sands our customers need.
Gravels are further processed at a gravel plant, and damp sands may be dried in our fluid bed dryer, and further dry-screened to meet customer specifications. Finished goods are shipped by pressure truck, dump truck, flat bed, and may be packaged in super sacks. In our Dorchester (Maurice River Township) operation, our crew operates power screens in the field at remote pits to process baseball infield mixes, screened fill, and other construction grades.
Today, Whibco is owned and operated by the Sjogren family, and led by Wade and Walter Sjogren, with combined experience in the mining industry of almost 50 years. Whibco is proud of its strong track record of civic involvement, being good stewards of the environment, and being second to none in the on-time delivery of quality products. We thank our customers and welcome your business!
