MAA Yearlong Sponsor Spotlight: Verplank Dock
Since 1908, Verplank has been delivering what West Michigan needs to thrive. What started as Verplank Ice & Coal — delivering fresh-cut ice from Spring Lake in the summer and coal for warmth in the winter — quickly grew into something bigger. When innovation changed the game, we changed with it. In the late 1940s, we shifted from ice to infrastructure, rebranding as Verplank Dock Co. and moving into the construction aggregates industry.
Today, we supply essential materials — including limestone, slag, trap rock, and ice control salt — fueling the growth of communities across West Michigan. Four generations strong, our commitment to excellence has never wavered. Today, through Verplank Dock Co. and Verplank Trucking Co., we proudly move over two million tons of aggregate and essential materials annually – fueling the growth of West Michigan and beyond.
