Sand Products Corporation (SPC) is a sand & gravel supplier based in Muskegon, Michigan. The company was founded on January 2, 1930, by brothers Mark and Max McKee as company that mined and processed industrial sands. In the early 1930s SPC began operating a large commercial dock in Muskegon, MI., dubbed the Mart Dock, handling a wide variety of cargoes and became deeply involved in the Great Lakes shipping industry and vessel ownership through a series of wholly owned subsidiaries and partnerships.
