In the Spring of 1955, the same year that "The Lawrence Welk Show" made its television debut and "Rock Around the Clock" hit #1, George Andersen opened PASVALCO. Fed up with the politics in parts of the stone industry at the time, he began with two partners, a 3-ton dump truck and $300 he had borrowed from his mother.

Some of the contractors who wanted him to start his own stone yard paid him in advance to go and get materials for them.  The office was the back seat of his 1952 Ford.  The first yard was in the swamp behind the Limbert Bros. Coal yard on the other side of the tracks where the A&P now stands.  The company was soon able to make its first capital improvement - a little plastic 10¢ pencil sharpener!  Those were humble days, but it was a good start.

In the years after, PASVALCO grew and relocated to a lot across the railroad tracks (at that time, a commuter line to Hoboken), while maintaining a small showroom by the A&P until our current facility at the end of Bogert Street was constructed in 1986.  Much has happened in the years since, but the basic concepts have remained the same.

Team PASVALCO has now been growing for over 50 years.  That growth is because of all the hardworking employees and loyal customers over the years and the fact that the “good hand of the Lord has been upon us.”
