Ankem began with Bill Anderson’s groundbreaking formulation of the world-renowned Reverse-a-Crete™. His leadership guided the family-owned company through its first decade of innovation and growth. His son, Ron Anderson Sr., then expanded Ankem’s capabilities by introducing cutting-edge solutions for the ready-mix concrete industry and broadening the company’s reach.
In later years, third-generation President Ron Anderson Jr. led Ankem into a new era of technological advancement and diversification. Under his direction, the company introduced modern wash systems and broadened its product offerings across the concrete, oil & gas, and transportation sectors. His vision and commitment to innovation continue to shape the company’s direction and legacy.
Following Ron Jr.’s tragic passing, Ron Anderson Sr. has resumed leadership of the company, ensuring continuity, stability, and a steadfast commitment to the values that have defined Ankem for more than five decades. Today, Ankem stands as a stable, trusted, and forward-thinking specialty chemical manufacturer.
