Our History... Lambert Anderson, the founder of the McPherson Concrete companies, built and sold his first farm silo in 1911 when McPherson Concrete Products was incorporated as one of the early businesses in McPherson, Kansas. Over the next 60+ years, McPherson Concrete Products, with its distinctive "Diamond Top" signature, erected thousands of farm silos throughout Kansas and the surrounding states.
In 1977, the Anderson family, owners from the company's outset until the present, decided to form McPherson Concrete Storage Systems, Inc. (MCSS, Inc.) and to dedicate the efforts of this new entity to the commercial grain storage construction business.
