Jack Ogorchock, founder, returned to his home town of Brookville from
military service and started a one truck operation, hauling coal, lumber and
anything else that needed hauling.  

In 1949, Jack expanded the trucking business into Brookville Building
Supplies and Ready Mix Concrete, with a small concrete plant and three
trucks.  

1952 saw the move to DuBois, Pa and the renaming of the company to
incorporate both locations, thus DuBrook was born.  A concrete plant was
set up and began production with a fleet of four trucks.  

Seeing opportunities elsewhere, Jack opened another plant and supply
store in Butler, Pa in 1958.  At one point, there were three satellite plants
as well in the Butler area.

DuBrook operated in Spring, Texas from 1976 to 1985.  Equipment was
moved from Texas to Chantilly, VA in 1987.  Further expansion to
Chesapeake, VA with a precast operation happened in 1993.

Jack retired in 1993, and the second generation of Ogorchocks took over
the controls of DuBrook.  In 1994, the purchase of Thomson and
Montgomery of St Marys was negotiated.

Today, DuBrook, Inc. operates four plants in Pennsylvania: DuBois, Butler,
Evans City and St Marys.  Rosemary Ogorchock Barber, Jack's daughter,
is the owner and president.  Her three brothers all operate separate
concrete related companies in Virginia and Texas.  Jack keeps busy with
his real estate business, Green Dot, and keeping up to date on the
construction industry.  View related family businesses.
