Sargent Sand Co., founded in 1919 is a supplier of high quality silica sand. Headquartered in Ludington, Michigan where we have actively mined since 1927. Ludington State Park will be growing by 100 acres — 60 of which have never been altered — in a $17 million deal announced by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to buy the land from Sargent Sand.
