OUR HISTORY

On day one, there was a large parcel of land and a husband and wife ready to create a lifestyle with their 2 children. The original loader still sits on display at the Brendale quarry reminding us of the inception of this company.

From humble beginnings as a local quarry at Brendale, 50 years later this family owned and operated business has grown substantially.

In our fiftieth year we will open our 6th concrete plant and 4th quarry, spanning broader southeast Queensland.

When you add fly ash and cement supply and a large fleet of vehicles transporting our products, we are supplying the services usually expected of a large national company with the attention you only receive from a principal owned and managed business.

Committed team driving quality and growth

Every Neilsen employee including many family members are committed to the quality and reliability of our products and services. The team boast a large number of long term employees who all have high standards for the safe running of our operations and for great customer service.
This begins when the customer makes first contact with our sales team. It also comes from the level of knowledge of our dispatch and administration staff.

50 years of trusted service 
for Queensland

Being an industry that deals with a wide range of customers including builders, contractors and the general public, product knowledge, experience and servicing skills are the criteria to which we strive.

In every year of operation, the Neilsen Group has continued to grow to become one of the largest independently owned concrete and quarry operations based in Queensland. Neilsen’s is 50 years young and looking forward to the opportunities for continued growth to support the success of Queensland.
