Dayton Superior is Hiring!
Why Join Dayton Superior?
Since our founding in 1924 as the family-owned Dayton Sure Grip & Shore Company, we’ve never stopped evolving. We purchased Symons® by Dayton Superior — now a 100+ year old brand — in 1997 and acquired 16 companies throughout the 1990’s to broaden our service lines. Despite a setback in the economic downturn of 2008-09, Dayton Superior has emerged stronger than ever and rededicated to the entrepreneurial qualities on which we were founded.
At Dayton Superior, we’re serious about concrete construction supplies. To us, they’re not just what we sell, they’re a reflection of who we are. Our 17,000+ products are tough, tested and high performing, just like the people who stand behind them. Today, we are one of the leading suppliers to the global non-residential concrete construction industry. Accessories…chemicals…forming. All the concrete solutions you need, all in one place.
