Reed Family Companies has been recognized by the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) as a recipient of the 2025 Community Involvement Award, part of NAPA's Operational Excellence Awards program.

The award recognizes organizations that make a lasting impact in the communities they serve through strong community relations and employee involvement. One of the initiatives highlighted in the award was our annual Touch-A-Truck event, held in partnership with the Modesto Chamber of Commerce. The event gives local families and children the opportunity to explore construction equipment up close, meet industry professionals, and learn more about careers in construction.

We are honored to receive this national recognition and grateful to our employees, partners, and community members who help make these efforts possible.

🌟 A New Group of Interns Joins Reed Family Companies! We’re excited to welcome our 2026 interns to Reed Family Companies as they begin their journey with us through our annual Intern Roadshow. 🚧👷‍♂️👷‍♀️

Over two days, interns traveled across Central California visiting 7/11 Materials, VSS International, Inc., George Reed Inc, and VSS Macropaver at Reed International. Along the way, they experienced everything from active construction projects to manufacturing and materials production.

🛣️Day One: In the Field and at the Plant

The tour kicked off in West Modesto, CA, where interns visited a George Reed Inc. paving project and saw our crews in action. From there, they headed to the 711 Materials Stockton Ready Mix Plant to learn how concrete is produced and how our aggregate mining operations support projects across the region.

The day continued in West Sacramento at VSS International, Inc., where interns:
• Toured the plant 🏭
• Explored the QC lab 🔬
• Learned about emulsions and slurry systems used in pavement preservation

The evening wrapped up with dinner in Modesto 🍽️, giving interns the chance to connect with team members from across RFC. 🤝

Day Two: Manufacturing and Mining 🛠️

Day two began in Hickman, CA, at the VSS Macropaver facility. Interns toured the shop and learned what goes into building our equipment, from CNC machining to welding. 🔧⚡

🪨 The final stop was George Reed Inc.’s Table Mountain Aggregate Plant in Sonora, CA. After lunch, interns toured the QC lab and gained a deeper understanding of our mining operations, including witnessing a live blast. 💥

Investing in the Future

This hands-on experience helps our interns understand the full scope of our operations and how our teams work together across every project. We’re proud to support the next generation and look forward to seeing what they accomplish during their time with us. 👉 Learn more at www.reedfamilycompanies.com.

🎉Reed Family Companies Celebrates 50 years with the Modesto Chamber of Commerce! 🏆 Reed Family Companies is honored to be recognized by the Modesto Chamber of Commerce. The milestone honors decades of steady involvement, investment in the local economy, and strong working relationships throughout the Central Valley.

During the Chamber event, Jeff Reed, President of RFC, reflected on the deeper purpose behind business involvement in the community, drawing on historical perspective and local impact. He shared, “The quality of life is directly proportional to one's involvement in their community,” emphasizing that meaningful engagement goes far beyond day-to-day operations.

Reed also spoke to what makes community organizations like the Chamber so valuable, noting how they bring people together to create positive change. “We find key areas that we can all combine and work at improving our environment, improving our communities,” he said.

For Reed Family Companies, that philosophy is deeply rooted in how the organization operates across its family of businesses. Active participation, collaboration, and long-term investment in the region continue to shape not only the company’s growth, but also the communities it serves.

Our commitment remains clear: invest in people, strengthen partnerships, and contribute to the long-term success of the communities it calls home. Learn more at www.reedfamilycompanies.com.
