Pattison Sand

We're located in northeast Iowa. The company operates a mine that is ideally located with direct access to the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, the Mississippi River and a Trans load on the WSOR/BNSF. Pattison has been mining industrial sand since 2007 and producing construction aggregate since 2017. Spanning 750 acres, Pattison's facility has production capacity for the next 30 years. This facility has tremendous growth potential by linking Rail to River to low cost underground storage to railcar storage. Working across several industries and services, each industry will balance the other's business cycles, providing greater stability for co-workers and customers. The company is wholly owned by the Pattison family. The family has successfully owned and operated businesses since 1950. The company and co-workers have consistently proven their commitment to their customers, employees, community, industry and the environment. The Pattison team has a deep passion for bringing value to customers, taking pride in their innovation and adaptability. The frac sand business is but one example. Pattison selected the St Peter formation for all of the sand that it mines. Some is now sold for dairy bedding.
