A Company With An Old Name

In the early years following the Civil War, a former confederate officer, Col. Edward Dillon started with an idea. He recognized a need for crushed limestone in the Richmond, Virginia area and felt he could barge limestone on the James River from Buchanan, Virginia, in Botetourt County, to Richmond and other eastern Virginia cities. Shortly thereafter, a limestone producing company was formed that was to endure for generations. Now, after more than a century, E. Dillon & Company, one of the oldest Companies in America or Virginia, continues to serve.

Originally operating on the James River near Buchanan, Virginia, the company used manpower, mulepower, and steam power to produce its products. But as the years pass so do the ways we operate. Being in business for over 130 years has required continual modernization and replacement of facilities. E. Dillon & Company now operates on a 600 acre site at Swords Creek, Virginia and serves as a major employer in Russell County. Our facility, being on the

Clinch River in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, is a constant reminder to us of our obligation to be friendly with our natural environment. Our plants are pollution free and we strive in all that we do to remain in harmony with our beautiful natural setting and our neighbors..

At our Swords Creek location, we produce and sell construction aggregate, mine safety dust, agricultural lime, and mineral fillers for glass, plastics and other compounds. We also produce a complete line of concrete masonry products that include mine block, lightweight and normal weight block for commercial and residential use, and our popular Premier Line(tm) Architectural Concrete Masonry Units. Our manufacturing facilities include . Crushing Plant, a Fine Grind Plant, a Block Grinding Plant, and two block plants. All our plants are modern, high tech, state of the art facilities.
