Our Beginnings
From an early age, Eugene “Babe” Chaney was propelled by an unwavering entrepreneurial spirit. Whether navigating the streets of Baltimore to deliver vegetables as a young teenager or single-handedly managing a gravel-hauling operation with just one truck, Babe consistently embodied a "can do, will do" mentality.
In the 1950s, Babe seized an opportunity by bidding on a contract in Prince Georges County, despite lacking equipment and comprehensive industry knowledge. Winning the contract necessitated quick action, leading him to borrow funds to acquire five essential pieces of equipment. With the successful completion of the contract, Babe set his sights on a grander vision: transforming his endeavor into the premier construction materials supplier in Southern Maryland.
Establishing Chaney Enterprises in 1962 marked the realization of that vision and more. From its inception, the company has grown into the Mid-Atlantic's preferred provider of ready-mix concrete and aggregates, a testament to the dedication of Babe, his family, and their collective vision. Although Mr. Chaney is no longer with us, his entrepreneurial spirit and tireless work ethic have indelibly shaped the company's culture and fueled its ongoing growth.
Today, the Chaney family continues to play an active role in both ownership and the day-to-day operations of the company, ensuring that the legacy of Eugene "Babe" Chaney endures in every facet of Chaney Enterprises.
