Solidia Names Oldcastle Veteran as CEO, Closes $78M Funding Round

Solidia Technologies has named Bryan Kalbfleisch as chief executive officer. He arrives from Summit Materials, where he served as president of the Texas Region and Alleyton Resource, Houston-based ready mixed concrete and aggregate producer. Prior to Summit, Kalbfleisch was president of Oldcastle Materials’ Arkansas-based APAC Central business. That appointment followed a tenure with Central Pre-Mix Concrete Co., an integrated Spokane, Wash. producer Oldcastle acquired in 1997.

“Joining Solidia provides me the rare privilege of helping move cement and concrete into their next generation with higher-performing materials that are better for industry, people, and the planet,” says Kalbfleisch. “Having devoted my career to this industry, I am excited to help build a new legacy for it with the support of some of the world’s most committed leaders in advancing sustainable innovation.”
