Sandvik Crusher Saves Day for Westport Sand & Stone
It’s hard to say goodbye, but Westport Sand & Stone recently had no choice when it bid farewell to its old Allis- Chalmers cone crusher.
Founded in 1970, Westport Sand & Stone is a heavy highway, concrete, asphalt and aggregate contractor in Westport, MA, and a major supplier to Cardi Corporation, which is based in Warwick, RI.

Keith Cloutier, plant superintendent of Westport Sand & Stone, immediately called Dick Vining, of EESSCO, based in Norwell, MA, to find out what his options were.
“EESSCO worked very hard with us to make appropriate estimates on the repairs of our old crusher, and showed us that it would be to our advantage, particularly with increased levels of production to not spend the money to repair the old crusher, but to make an upgrade,” said Cloutier.
“We had had a long and continuous operation for many years with the people at EESSCO, and we knew that the information and advice we received from Dick Vining, their sales manager, had a lot of credibility....
