Negwer Materials Corporate Headquarters

Grown from a small hauling start-up to a multi-million dollar distributor, Negwer Materials has called Ferguson home for nearly a century.

“That’s what makes [North County] such a good community — real people who are here to do it for the right reasons.”

Scott Negwer, President

Founded in 1924 by Walter G. Negwer, the family-owned and -operated company initially picked up raw milk from local dairies and delivered to the processor in North St. Louis County. Today, Negwer Materials is a leading construction material supplier serving Central and Eastern Missouri, Southern and Central Illinois and Northeastern Arkansas. While the company has evolved and its size has grown — to ten locations and more than 200 employees — Negwer Materials remains a proud North County business, even rebuilding in the same location following near destruction by a tornado in 2011.

“We’ve invested in North County for a variety of reasons: First, of course, our long history here. Second, for its great access to the metropolitan area. Third, because we, as a family and a business, are very committed to North County and want to do our part.”

Scott Negwer, President

For many decades, Negwer Materials has been trusted by general contractors, subcontractors, architects and engineers across the region. This trust, however, also extends to the community. The company’s commitment to doing good drives its involvement in community events and programs as well as the corporate decisions it makes.

“There are many people with deep roots in North County, who like us, are really committed to giving back. That’s what makes it such a good community — real people who are here to do it for the right reasons.”

Scott Negwer, President

Looking towards the future, North County continues to grow and flourish, and Negwer Materials is excited about the new opportunities unfolding — not only for its business but for the well-being of its hometown.
