Background
Hercules Materials Holdings, LLC was formed in 2020 to provide ready mix concrete services in Metro Detroit and beyond.
Since that time, we have grown into one of the largest ready mix concrete suppliers in Metro Detroit. We currently employ over
180 people at our six facilities. Our drivers are union members and can earn over $33 per hour. Hercules’ affiliates operate concrete production
facilities in Detroit (Hercules Concrete, LLC), Center Line (Titan Concrete, LLC), Pontiac (Zeus Concrete, LLC), Ypsilanti (Pegasus Concrete, LLC),
and Marshall, Michigan (Atlas Concrete, LLC).
We are excited and proud that our newest state of the art facility will be located at 3399 E. McNichols, in Detroit (Kronos Concrete, LLC).
Project Description
The Kronos facility is located in Detroit’s Cadillac Heights area and is bounded by E. McNichols Road to the South, Jerome Street to the North, Moran Street to the east and Joseph
Campau Avenue to the west. The entire Kronos facility is zoned M4 (Intensive Industrial). A zoning map is attached
here. The facility area will cover approximately 29 acres. A map
showing the location of the facility here.
The Kronos facility is similar in technology, size and scope to our plants in Center Line, Ypsilanti, and Pontiac. The new Kronos facility
represents a $10,000,000 investment in Cadillac Heights. To our knowledge, this is the largest single private investment in Cadillac Heights in over 20 years. Conceptual renderings
showing before the investment and after the investment and other information can be viewed here.
Additional Information
The Kronos Plant will include streetscape improvements, tree plantings, and a
green berm that meets or exceeds the City of Detroit’s buffering requirements.
The Kronos plant complies with the City of Detroit noise ordinance, which is attached here.
Jobs
We are excited to invest and create jobs in Cadillac Heights.
On May 20, 2024, we conducted a job fair at Kronos and received over 250 applications. Photos of the event can be
viewed here.
Below is a quote from David A. Johnson II, Senior Pastor at Kingdom Covenant Church across from Kronos regarding the job fair:
“We were so honored to partner with Hercules Concrete for their Community Job Fair yesterday. To create opportunities for employment for people in the city of Detroit and
throughout the metropolitan area is a joy for us to be part of. My wife Lady Kimya, our staff, and the entire membership of Kingdom Covenant Church are committed to seeing
our community thrive. The turnout for this event was a great step in a positive direction.”

Kronos is proud to partner with the Detroit Police Department in Project Green Light Detroit.
This project is the first public-private-community partnership of its kind,
blending a mix of real-time crime-fighting and community policing aimed at improving neighborhood safety, promoting the
revitalization and growth of local businesses, and strengthening DPD's efforts to deter, identify, and solve crime.
In August 2024, Kronos Concrete, LLC donated 250 yards of concrete and covered the cost of construction to remove,
prepare and place new concrete at the Kingdom Covenant Church across from the Kronos Facility.
Earlier this summer, Kronos partnered with the Detroit Police Department to participate in Project Greenlight to
enhance safety and security in the neighborhood.
On August 25, 2024, Kronos will participate in the Community Resource Fair at Kingdom Covenant Church as a backpack sponsor.
Kronos is committed to being a good neighbor in Cadillac Heights.
