Today, through Verplank Dock Co. and Verplank Trucking Co., the organization supplies essential materials, including limestone, slag and trap rock, to fuel economic growth. Verplank proudly moves over two million tons of vital materials annually, driving the continued development of West Michigan and the surrounding Midwestern region.
