Lindy Paving leaders know there is no substitute for quality. They have a trophy case that proves the point - including two prestigious NAPA honors: the Diamond Achievement Award, for excellent site operations, and the Sheldon G. Hayes award, for exceptional paving work.

That excellence starts at the plant. "We strive to do the best in everything we can," says Paul Reiner, general manager at Lindy Paving, with three locations in the Pittsburgh area. "We put out a consistently good product. We preach making it right, making the best mix. That comes first."

But product quality is just the first step in Lindy's success story; there are others, including:
1) Be fast - keep trucks moving, get materials delivered to the jobsite.
2) Be efficient with the plant operations - specifically, get the most out of the equipment and take advantage of innovations and new technology.
3) Be efficient with fuel to help keep asphalt prices as low as possible.

Technology increases speed
Keeping trucks moving is a benefit that customers notice; quick turnaround fosters customer loyalty and helps generate considerable repeat business. "We pride ourselves in not having a line or a wait," Reiner says. "We get trucks in and out."
