Geiger Ready Mix | Leavenworth, KS – This Kansas City-area producer, like many of the companies on our list, is family-owned. Geiger traces its roots back to 1860 when Gottlieb Geiger started a construction contracting business in Leavenworth. Geiger’s fifth plant opened in Missouri in 2003. Last year, Geiger driver Ted Ingerson ran for the 42nd district of the Kansas House of Representatives as a Republican but lost. On its Web site, Geiger promises to be “On time” and to “hustle.” www.geigerreadymix.com
