Humble Beginnings

In 1955, brothers Guido and Hector DiStefano left their lives in Italy to move to Canada and fulfil their entrepreneurial dreams. Both brothers had grown tired of working for local concrete companies and saw an opportunity to make a change in the Canadian concrete scene. Since neither Guido nor Hector had an education past middle school, their plan seemed completely out of reach.

It is through the DiStefano brothers’ pure grit, determination, and family pride that Rolling Mix is as successful as it is today. What started as a wheelbarrow, a single finishing machine, and a pickup truck in a garage in Bridgeland has turned into an immense operational success in Calgary and beyond.

From these modest roots, Guido and Hector built a reputation for hard work, high standards, and a commitment to doing things right the first time.

Growing with purpose

In 1964, Rolling Mix expanded to Prince George, BC, with the addition of a new partner, Joe Paolucci. By 1994, a second expansion brought them to Edmonton, with Rod Taverner joining the partnership. By 2016, Rolling Mix saw the completion of a major expansion in Edmonton and a new state of the art concrete batching plant servicing Calgary and the surrounding area.

Now, over 70 years later, Rolling Mix employs hundreds of employees with the operational capacity to serve locations across Canada. In 2025, Rolling Mix acquired 4 additional companies to further increase our reach and volume. Despite our rapid growth, Rolling Mix remains a company guided by professionalism, hard work, and family values.

Never forgetting our roots

At Rolling Mix, our Italian heritage runs deep, and so does our commitment to community, quality, and integrity. For over 70 years, we’ve been a proudly Canadian family-owned business, rooted in tradition and driven by a passion for craftsmanship. The work ethic of the DiStefano brothers is integral to our core values and has been passed down through generations of Rolling Mix employees.

From a tiny garage in Bridgeland to a thriving success, Rolling Mix has never lost sight of where we came from. Against all odds, two immigrant brothers built a company with long-standing values that impact and shape Alberta's concrete business today.
