In the Community

At Vulcan, we’re proud to contribute to the communities in which we live and work in ways big and small. It’s more than just financial support. Our people volunteer their time, talents and their hearts. We care about our communities and work hard to make a positive difference with local schools and charities.

We’re no stranger to Texas or Comal County. We currently operate 15 quarries and several other facilities in Texas, and we’ve been operating in the San Antonio area since the 1970s.

Vulcan purchased more than $1.73 million in goods and services from Comal County-based businesses in 2016. We also contract with nearly 20 local vendors, supporting jobs and adding to household income. We have many current and former employees living in Comal County and look forward to investing in the area.

We build meaningful relationships within the community through involvement in schools and a variety of charitable, civic and business organizations.
