  • 100% of cement and aggregates used in Angelus products sourced within 500 miles
  • 100% of Angelus manufactured product within 500 miles

One hundred percent of Angelus Block CMU, Paver, and SRW products are manufactured in Southern California, in plants located throughout the region. All raw materials for the products are extracted and/or produced well within 500 miles of our market area in Southern California. Trenwyth Industries Architectural Masonry products manufactured in Phoenix, AZ are within the 500 range of our market area.

Where these products constitute large portions of the project, such as concrete masonry buildings, the Regional Materials credits may be exceeded by a significant factor, thus an opportunity for an Exemplary Performance credit.

And, for just simple practicality, the number and location of Angelus plants is likely to offer beneficial and convenient proximity to any given jobsite.
