On June 14th, 2024, OCP marked 50 years in business with a customer and employee BBQ at our headquarters on Webbwood Drive in Sudbury, hosting 150 people throughout the afternoon to gather, share stories, and celebrate the legacy of OCP.
This date also carries a double significance, as the anniversary of the businesses conception in 1974 also lines up with founder Dick Cousineau’s birthday. Dick turned 86 at the celebration.
The afternoon’s highlight was a surprise unveiled for Dick Cousineau. Behind a closed garage door, OCP staff revealed a fully restored 1969 Schwing concrete pump mounted on a 1967 Mercedes-Benz Unimog. Recovered in Hearst, and brought back to life. The rig is nearly identical to one of the pumps that Dick operated in the early days of the company. The Unimog now serves as a landmark, easily recognizable when driving onto our Sudbury property, and as a tribute to our legacy, symbolizing our longstanding history in the region.
That day, we also announced taking possession of a new future branch based in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec.
Founded in 1974 with a single concrete pump, OCP Construction Supplies and Cousineau Concrete Pumping today employ approximately 90 people across Sudbury, Timmins, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, and Rouyn-Noranda. The company remains family owned and operated.
Thank you to every customer, supplier, and employee who joined us. Here’s to the next 50.
