Our History

^
1952

Founded

Albert Haydon bought a share of Sam Nally Shop which was an equipment repair, metal fabrication and supply shop for several quarries and construction companies owned and operated by Sam Nally.

^
1957

Albert became a partner in 2 quarries owned by Mr. Nally.

^
1968

Due to stricter regulations concerning storage of explosives passed down from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, an explosive company asked Albert to design and build a storage magazine that they could provide to their customers throughout the eastern United States. Soon, due to the quality of the magazine, orders started coming in from coal mining operations and from other suppliers of explosives. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, the U.S. military became the dominant customer for the magazines and the name was changed to Armag Corporation which was derived from merging the words “armor” and “magazine”.

Albert bought more interest in the quarries and changed the name of the company to Nally & Haydon. In subsequent years, Albert bought all of the Sam Nally stock to become sole owner of Nally & Haydon.

Safety Program

Haydon Materials takes Safety very seriously.

Training is essential for a safe workplace.  All of the quarry locations are compliant with all MSHA (Mine Safety & Health Administration) requirements and training.  All asphalt plant locations and Paving Crews are compliant with all OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) requirements and training.  We also comply with all other regulatory agencies including The United States Coast Guard. The Company dedicates in excess of 20 hours per year per employee for this dedicated training. Weekly and shift start-up safety meetings are held to keep safety as a focus for all employees.  Employees follow a Safety Manual covering a variety of topics from Accident Procedures, Bloodborne Pathogens, Fall Protection, Hearing Conservation Program, Proper Equipment Lockout and Tagout Procedures, Proper use of Personal Protective Equipment, and Vehicle Safety procedures to name some of the categories covered.

Safety is more than policy – it is a culture – and Haydon Materials is working toward a Safety Culture where each and every employee is aware of their surroundings for both themselves and their fellow workers.  Senior Management supports this culture completely which makes it possible and enables it to happen.
