Our History
Our story began over 50 years ago, when a young Italian couple, Joe and Lucy Lamanna, started delivering concrete and stone from a small property in Thornhill, Ontario. As the business grew, they formed partnerships with other entrepreneurs, including Tony Pellegrini. Together, they established Toronto's preferred ready-mix supplier and the largest and most technologically advanced independent supplier in Ontario, Toronto Redimix. Over the years, we've expanded to include a range of companies, including Draglam Salt, Brock Aggregates, Earthco Soil Mixtures, New Century Homes, Devils Den Golf Course, and Draglam Waste & Recycling.
With the added support and vision of Joe and Lucy's son and son-in-law, Pat Lamanna and Robert Zanetti, each new venture has helped to further establish G&L as Ontario's premier source and supplier in constructing and creating dynamic communities.
