Today, Watkins is part of a network of block manufacturers throughout the state owned by NEBCO, Inc. of Lincoln. Watkins manufactures over 400 items in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors for the construction industry.
Watkins has expanded its product line with the distribution of clay face brick, natural and manufactured stone, rebar and many other residential and commercial construction products. All products are displayed at the showroom at 14306 Giles Road. Watkins is open to the public and accepts major credit cards.
