Several locations of Aggregate Industries US Midwest Region (AIMWR) have been recognized by the Safety Awards Program of the Illinois Association for Aggregate Producers (IAAP). The awards were presented during IAAP’s annual convention on May 15, 2012.

This recognition is a testament to the commitment to safety of every Aggregate Industries US employee.”
The IAAP Safety Committee’s Rock Solid Safety Award Program publicly recognizes members who set high safety and health standards in the conduct of their operations.
