History

Company History

Founded in the late 1890’s, by the Solomon family, ACME Block & Brick, Inc. is one of the oldest industries to consistently do business in Roane County since its inception. Getting its start as Acme Block and Tile Company, the Solomons ran the business up until 1942, when an entrepreneur by the name of A.J. Rivers, Sr. bought the company. Then, the company was originally designed to service the Roane County area, and later with the development of Oak Ridge, Anderson County. Now, with its main office and plant in Cumberland County, the company encompasses much of Middle and East Tennessee.

Still today, owned and managed by the Rivers family, the product line has expanded from just providing concrete block, to being a full blown masonry and hardscape superstore. Our products supply anyone from the architect designing the buildings to the weekend do-it-yourselfer.

ACME Block & Brick, Inc. is a company based on the highest standards of quality and committed to delivering the best possible service. As we grow and expand to stay on top of an ever changing market we will always stay with the tradition that this company was built on.
