About Us

In early 1992, entrepreneur Brian Ganos purchased a former ready mix facility in order to accommodate his growing construction firm. At that time, he utilized the site for equipment storage and office space, while allowing the concrete plant to remain dormant.

Rather than repair the plant, Brian decided to form a partnership with the dominant concrete supplier of that time, Tews Concrete. The venture provided Tews Concrete with a minority presence in the Milwaukee market while helping Brian launch Sonag Ready Mix (Ganos spelled backwards) in 1994. For several years, the venture benefited both companies; however, things would soon change.

In 1996, Tews Concrete completed a leveraged buyout with an overseas corporation. Things began to quickly change between the two companies so Brian made the decision to dissolve the partnership and offer Nick Rivecca, a twenty-year veteran in the ready mix industry, a partnership position within Sonag Ready Mix.

Utilizing his knowledge of the concrete industry, Nick Rivecca began to assemble a veteran team to help build this young company. In a very short amount of time, the single plant and six-truck operation began to grow. In less than one year after batching and hauling its first official load of concrete to the Edward E. Gillen Company, Sonag has established itself as a premier union supplier in the Milwaukee market.

Since the first load of concrete a tremendous amount has changed for Sonag Ready Mix. In 2003, Sonag Ready Mix added a south side facility and has now expanded its truck fleet to over forty ready mix trucks.
