The
Gernatt Companies possess a rich history established in Collins, New York.
Originally a dairy farmer, Dan Gernatt Sr. began marketing gravel items
from his farm in 1946. Thanks to a lifetime of hard work and long hours,
Dan and his family have been able to develop a sound and stable business.
Dan has provided several jobs locally and takes great pride in the team of
dedicated employees that help accomplish the companies’ goals.
Since
the opening of the Collins site, the Gernatt Companies have grown to
include operations in Chaffee, Delevan, Freedom, Gowanda, Great Valley, Hanover,
South Dayton, and Springville. Asphalt is produced in Collins,
Springville, and Delevan, and all locations, except Delevan, produce washed and crushed sand and gravel
products. The New York State Department of Transportation and the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation approve Gernatt’s quality
materials for use in their road maintenance and construction projects.
The Gernatt
Companies have a long history of involvement in Western New York projects.
Gernatt products have been used at Ralph Wilson Stadium, home of the
Buffalo Bills, Dunn Tire Park, home of the Buffalo Bison, and HSBC Arena,
home of the Buffalo Sabres. Gernatt products were instrumental in the
completion of the New York State Thruway and have been used extensively in
completing the Southern Tier Expressway (Route 86). While serving the
six counties of Western New York as its home market, Gernatt has also
successfully marketed products as far away as Long Island, New York.
As times and
technologies have changed the Gernatt Companies have exhibited tremendous
flexibility in staying on top of new developments in the industry. Gernatt
is steadfast in its demand for supplying the highest quality products and
services to its customers. With 50 years of success as our foundation we
are ready for the challenges of tomorrow.
