OUR STORY

 

The story of Kanta Products is about great people making great products, wrapped in a more than 70-year history of dedicated hard work serving our customers with concrete building materials that are "Made in Montana".  At Kanta we are proud of our family company heritage, our Montana roots, and that over the years our concrete masonry block built hundreds of schools, buildings, churches and jails all across Montana, Idaho, North Dakota and Wyoming. Mutual Materials purchased Kanta Products in 2016, because they recognized the value Kanta provides to the local community.  Click here to read our story as told in The Lewis & Clark Journal.
